Some Hidden Features In iOS 5 Application Development

iOS 5 comes up with lots of good features and all these features are announced officially by Apple. But

there are some other secretes held by iOS 5 application development which let OS to do things it was

never intended to do. Let’s see some hidden gems and tweaks to iOS 5 that may surprise you.

Panorama Camera Mode

One of the iOS developers reported on a way to turn on panoramic mode for picture taking without

have to jailbreak your device. The process involves using a backup program, iBackupBot, to edit and add

a line or two of code in a system file. Some iOS devices are crashing while using this newly activated

mode, but there are plenty of reports come as they successfully taken photo in this wider mode and

they were extremely wide photos.

Autocorrect Keyboard Bar

Apple has hidden a suggested autocorrect bar for onscreen keyboard because it looks like an awful

something you will find on an Android device. It lists possible corrections for mistakes performed on

typing on just above the keyboard. If you want to avoid it you are to use iBackupBot again to make some

changes to the code.

Hidden 3D

It is obvious that Apple is one of the backers of WebGL, a standard for rendering 3D objects on the web.

Apple has promised to support WebGL in iOS 5 but only in advertisement. But recently an Australian

developer find out that how to render 3D object in iOS 5 application development and outside of ad

frames, with the help of 3rd party APIs. This means developer could theoretically add 3D objects to new

iOS apps. It is another thing that Apple approves it or not in App store.

Restoring iPad Multi-touch Feature

When you upgrade your iPad to the iOS 5 then you will lost the multi-touch gesture. This is because

Apple has introduced this feature for iPad 2 especially. Fortunately a coder at modmyi.com came up

with a fix to restore this capability without jailbreak the device.
