SBApplication is a class representing the application screen on the SpringBoard. SBApplication is a subclass of SBDisplay. See SBDisplay for more info.
Retrieving an instance of SBApplication
To retrieve a known instance, you must go through SBApplicationController. For example, if the display ID of the application is known, you can use:
SBApplication* app = [[SBApplicationController sharedInstance] applicationWithDisplayIdentifier:@"com.yourcompany.appname"];
Get all active applications
Signature | -(NSArray*)_accessibilityRunningApplications; |
---|---|
Available in | 3.0 – |
Signature | -(SBApplication*)_accessibilityFrontMostApplication; |
---|---|
Available in | 3.2 – |
Getting active applications traditionally need to be done via the static function at 0xeadc, or evaluate through the result of -[SBApplicationController allApplications] and check if the pid is valid. Fortunately, starting from 3.0, the SpringBoard class provides a method -[SpringBoard _accessibilityRunningApplications] which directly calls 0xeadc. Therefore, you can get the array of active applications from this.
Starting from 3.2 one can also use -[SpringBoard _accessibilityFrontMostApplication] to get the front most application.
Launching an SBApplication
To launch an SBApplication you can use SBUIController:
[[SBUIController sharedInstance] activateApplicationAnimated:app];
Note 1. this method will not respect parental control. You can look up the list of restricted apps using -[SpringBoard parentalControlsDisabledApplications], however.
Note 2. this method will only work if on the home screen. It will not work when already in an application.
Application Info.plist
SpringBoard will recognize the following Info.plist keys:
- UISystemProvisioning
- SBDemoRole[1]
- SBIsRevealable[1][2]
- SBUsesNetwork[3]
- UIJetsamPriority
- SBIconClass
- SBSpotlightIcons
- UIRoles
- SBMachServices
- disabled
- CFBundleIconFile
- SPSearchDomainLaunchInfo
- Other UIKit keys described in http://developer.apple.com/IPhone/library/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/iPhoneOSKeys.html
Starting from 3.2 these documented keys are also recognized:
- ProductType, UIDeviceFamily, DeviceFamily[4]
- UIAppFonts
- UIFileSharingEnabled
- UISupportedInterfaceOrientations
