[iOS] iOS 7 beta & Cocos2d-X

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hi all,

I am working on Cocos2d-x for more then 1 years, just love working on it.

I have received mail from iOS people about new iOS 7 beta SDK. They have mentioned about many new features in it like Sprite Kit API for 2D games, simulate physics and particle systems.
I would like to know will cocos2d-x will get advantages of such API’s in future?

Thanks,

Paresh

BTW did anyone tested cocos2d-x on new iOS 7 beta? Does it work properly? Are there any new deprecated methods in iOS 7 that developers should be aware of?

There is status bar by default :frowning:

Add following code in rootviewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)])
    {
        [self prefersStatusBarHidden];
        [self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
    }
    else
    {
        // iOS 6
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
    }
}


// Add this Method

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden

{

 return YES;

}

I have been using ios7 for a while with a game I am writing in cocos2d-x 2.1.4 and I just upgraded to 2.1.5 and things work.

To remove the status bar you can also set a flag in info.plist versus code if you want.

FYI the new plist entry is “View controller-based status bar appearance” and set it to NO

Thanks Peter, I was going to post a pic for everyone once I got home :slight_smile:

Attached.

Yep, apart from the status bar thing it seems to me that everything else works fine in iOS 7.

The UI setting is “UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance”, set it to NO in your plist file.
