iosios7swipe-gesturecontrol-center

Is it possible to disable Control Center in iOS 7 programmatically and if not, what are alternatives?


I have developed an app that uses swipe gesture from bottom up. It was working perfectly in iOS 6, but now iOS 7 came out, and it works maybe 1 out of 25 times: i get iOS 7 Control Center almost every time. Obviously, Control Center can be disabled in the Settings, but that is up to the phone owner, and I cannot control that. So my question is, is there a way to disable Control Center for the time when my app is running (or more likely, is "active", as I would want Control Center back if the user is not actively using my app). If not, what are the alternatives? Is relocating/reworking that functionality is the only solution?


Solution

  • No alternatives, really. The best you can do is warn users and ask them to go to settings to turn it off.

    Realistically, you'll lose a lot of users just by asking that, so you should change the gestures.
