Question

iOS 7 Beta Support?

I have the iOS 7 beta on my iPhone, and I wanted to know if AIR apps support the new features, like semi-transparency to the springboard, and real-time-rendered bluring.

(especially the first one)

And if it can, how do I get my AIR application to (be semi-transparent to the springboard)?

You should update to the GM version.

Looking at all apps, including Apple’s ones, the only one that shows some transparency is the Home screen. And then the icons are not transparent, only the background. If Apple are not using the effect in their own apps, maybe it’s not easy?

It's still experimental, and buggy, and not fully implemented, but I'd like to be ready for when iOS 7.0 comes out.

If you look closely, you can see the springboard, icons and all, in the background of the Passbook, Reminders, and Newsstand* Apps, and in Face TIme you can see the camera in the background.

And it's not just for Apple apps, because I have a battery monitor app from the AppStore, and its semi-transperent in iOS 7 beta like that too.

*Newsstand is not an app actully, it's part of the springboard.

The're not just getting the background and putting it in the background, it's actual transperancy,

if outside software modifies your home screen you can see that through a transperent app,

and you can see the transperency working in real time from the multitasking view.
