Hello,

how can I let this bar turn to "auto-hide" mode? When will this be supported? It is really in the way in my app!

Best,

Henning

I haven't used it myself, but Distriqt has a free ANE that lets you defer screen edge gestures, where it keeps the bar in a lower-opacity mode until you swipe, then if you swipe again it accepts the gesture like normal:

    Hello,

    still too much..... how can I tweak the transparency of the bar?

    So the only option we have for a perfect solution beyond this is the

    auto-hide mode of the bar if I understood that right.


    You can only use auto-hide if your app is something passive like a video player, and even then Apple is very strict at review time about whether they'll allow that or not for individual apps.  They generally want the home indicator bar on screen at all times, and you unfortunately just need to design your apps around that now and make sure your UI doesn't interfere.  I haven't seen any ANEs that let you use the auto-hide feature, I'm guessing mainly because Apple really doesn't want people to use it.
