wantsFullScreenLayout is generally a flag to request that your view controller’s view be laid out underneath translucent elements (such as a translucent navigation bar or status bar). In practice its behavior is somewhat confusing and a bit arbitrary. Keep in mind that rather than overriding the getter, it would be simpler to just set the value as you desire in your view controller’s -init* methods. > >> Of course even if you build with the iOS 7 SDK and deploy to iOS 6, the flag >> will be honored there as specified. >> > > Ultimately we want to use some iOS 7 features so it needs to be fixed in iOS > 7, I'm wondering how much of a change it will be and if it's worth rewriting > it so will work on 5 6 and 7. As noted, UIKit doesn’t look at the wantsFullScreenLayout property with applications linked on the iOS 7 SDK, instead using edgesForExtendedLayout. The default value of that property is the equivalent of wantsFullScreenLayout=YES, and you should be able to set edgesForExtendedLayout to RectEdgesNone to get a similar effect to NO. -- David Duncan _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
