GrimPanda Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Excellent. So it sounds like there will still be a top bar at all times (less sizable however). Definite upgrade from the bulky loss previous to this though. Glad to get some real estate back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyScirra Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Has anyone got screenshots of what 'minimal-ui' actually does? Does it make landscape mode not totally awful, or just allow more screen space to be used in portrait, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Still downloading, will let you know shortly! I expect all it does is start Safari in the same layout as when you scroll the UI away normally. InvisionUser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Tried it and it seems to work like expected... Why did this take so long apple?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubiq Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Why did this take so long apple?? because Apple doesn't give a damn about web-apps, now more than ever it is clear that 99% of the Apple resources are on native apps. With iOS5 it seemed that Apple took the right direction, but this last iOS7 is nothing but a joke. Good for browsing, not for web-apps (not to mention games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 I'm not convinced they give a damn about apps full stop, web-apps even less Then again they make up such a teeny tiny percentage of their overall income I can see why.

lfarroco Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 This might not be game related, but recently I developed a uniform customizer in HTML5. I took a very long time debugging issues in Safari - surpassing even IE9. So that's true, we have the new IE6 around us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyScirra Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I haven't had the chance to try out minimal-ui yet, can someone report what it does in landscape mode? Does it still have the full screen with invisible touch regions or is it a collapsed title bar? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricky_ Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I've tried minimal-ui in my WIP landscape-game and it worked as expected, beautiful! The touch restriction of the browser base has been removed and if the user click on the top of the browser to display the bars, it's only necessary a tap into the game canvas to hide all. I worried about remake my WIP to portrait, but now I see that it's not longer necessary, iOS 7.1 will let us make nice landscape games again.

tackle Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Does anyone know if iOS 7 autoupdates nowadays? Also, if there's any somewhat reliable info on what percentage is on iOS 7 or later etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricky_ Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Does anyone know if iOS 7 autoupdates nowadays? Also, if there's any somewhat reliable info on what percentage is on iOS 7 or later etc. I tested iOS 7.1 Beta through Apple Developer Program. I think (and hope) that the official version will be released soon, because it's the third beta. Maybe February? Crossed fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_h Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Also, if there's any somewhat reliable info on what percentage is on iOS 7 or later etc. Saw this the other day, not sure how reliable though https://mixpanel.com/trends/#report/ios_7/from_date:-3%2cto_date:0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyScirra Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Apple publish their own stats now: https://developer.apple.com/support/appstore/ Great to hear that iOS 7.1 is much better for games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Assarisse Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I got really excited about this minimal-ui thing, but then I got this bug on my game: https://w3g.jp/blog/studies/ios7_1_minimal-ui_warning(only website I found mentioning the bug, Google Translate ftw) If this post is offering a solution, I can't figure out how it is. I "fixed" by always scrolling back to top, but I'm not fond of doing this.Is this happening to anyone else? EDIT: found another link mentioning it: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?282632-2.3.1a-quot-minimal-ui-quot-breaks-viewport-position-on-iOS-7.1-when-rotated-to-landscape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enpu Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 iOS 7.1 gives you wrong window.innerHeight value, when you rotate back to landscape.No matter if you use onresize or onorientationchange event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyScirra Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 After the size event, fire window.scrollTo(0, 1) after 100ms and it fixes the weird landscape issue. How did nobody catch that across the betas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Assarisse Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 From my experience, the window height issue is a different one, and affects iPad only. Sticking with the scroll workaround for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protopop Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Has anyone got screenshots of what 'minimal-ui' actually does? Does it make landscape mode not totally awful, or just allow more screen space to be used in portrait, or what? From my experience it basically works as advertised. it automatically minimizes the chrome on page load, which is good because my app is ful screen and deosn't scroll, so i couldn't use any scrolling tricks. Tap the top really smoothly brings the chrome bck and tapping anywhere inside minimizes it again. there seems to be some kind of fuzzy logic handling taps near the top of the screen when there is a clickable button there. I was able to click buttons near the top of my screen most of the time. i would't put buttons right at top if you can help it but Apple's algorithm seems pretty good at detecting the difference. Here's some screenshots. haden, tumira and GrimPanda 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimPanda Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 @protopop Great shots, thanks. Looks hopeful after all, like you said, just have to be mindful of our UI's and gameplay needs to watch those tap areas Protopop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
