There is a "share" button in the bottom of the screen in Safari and I am wondering if it possible to add a custom sharing option for that?
For example if user installed an app (let's say App1) then when you click on that "share" button there will be "App1" in the share options list. App1 should register itself somehow as such that is able to do that. I know that this is possible in Android.

My application is using a tabbed page to separate 2 main areas. Using Xamarin.Forms 4.x and Prism.
The first tab basically hosts a set of linear navigated views modelling a workflow. It's been identified that when a user has progressed through the workflow, and accidentally taps on the current tab, the user is popped back to the start of the navigation.
Is there any way to bypass this event?
This only seems to happen on iOS.
I just discovered the answer. Works perfectly.

I'm writing a Firefox (web)extension. I have a browser_action in my manifest.json, with a default_popup. I want my extension to be accessible by all users, including those with vision impairment.
So I'd like to, as I change and develop things, test what it's like to (for example) interact with this feature, using only the keyboard. How do I do this? How do I focus and thus "click" the toolbar button, without a mouse?
Ideally, without actually running special screen reader software every time.

You can use commands to set a keyboard shortcut.
_execute_browser_action: works like a click on the extension's browser action
You may also add commands.update() (Firefox 60+) API to let users change that keyboard shortcut.
Thanks for considering accessibility. Just to clarify, because I don't think you meant this, but you can do keyboard testing without a screen reader. Just don't use your mouse :-) Seriously.
In my current firefox, I have an address bar, the search field, then a bunch of plugins on a toolbar.
On a PC (should be similar for a Mac, but Cmd instead of Ctrl):
I can move my keyboard focus to the address bar with alt+d or ctrl+L (cmd+L)
I can move my keyboard focus to the search field with ctrl+k (cmd+k)
Interestingly enough, I could not get my focus on the toolbar. I could have sworn I could tab from the address field, to the search field, to the toolbar, but it's not working now.
If you can get your focus there, then you should be able to use the left/right arrows to move between tools and then space/enter to select the tool.
If you want to play with a screen reader, NVDA is free.
Our team is building an iOS app which links out to Safari to process a charitable donation flow. In iOS 8, we can return the user back to the app by setting document.location to the app's custom URL scheme (e.g. myappscheme://donation/success), and everything flows fine for the user.
In iOS 9, Apple appear to have tightened their security model to display a popup dialog when exercising custom URL schemes in Safari - this allows the user to click "Cancel" and not link [back] out to the app.
My question is, given that iOS 9 now has a "< Back to [app]" button in the header of Safari - is there a way to 'tap' that link via JavaScript, rather than having to resort to a custom scheme, or Apple's new Universal Links mechanism?
Virtually clicking "Back to [app]" is desirable as it makes Safari slide back away to the right (the inverse of the way Safari now slides in from the right), rather than "re-opening" our app, like it does after clicking "OK" on the popup dialog. It also would stop iOS from putting a "Back to Safari" link in the top-left of our app which, is what happens when our app is opened via a Universal Link or Custom Schema.
You can't, or at least, Apple doesn't want you to. They've precisely implemented this mechanism to avoid this kind of automatic-fly-back-to-my-app scheme. If there were any documented way to do it using the SDK, that would result in a security issue.
However, in iOS 9, there is a new way to do this, and it involves hosting the web content in a Safari View Controller (SFSafariViewController), directly inside your app. This way you get all the benefits from Safari (user experience, shared cookies, etc.) and the user remains in your app (she can simply close the Safari view by tapping the 'Done' button on the top right corner of the screen).
I'm in Xcode 6.2 Beta 3 (Build 6C101), I've added a menu and two menu items to my Interface Controller, and created IBActions for both. I've given them titles and images, but when I run the app nothing displays.
I've read
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/WatchKitProgrammingGuide/Menus.html
and can't see anything about need to show menu items programatically - what am I missing?
You do not need to present the menu programmatically. The only thing you need to do is wire each button to IBActions in your Watch app extension.
The most likely issue is caching of the previous Watch app storyboard. Do a clean build and try again.
Finally, as you likely know WatchKit menus only display on a "force press". They cannot be used for the main interface of the Watch app. In the Simulator, a click and hold with the mouse will simulate a force press, and the animation will make it clear when you have done one, even in contexts where it doesn't do anything.
This was solution for me- Go to Hardware->Touch Pressure->Deep Press then try tap on watch simulator.
I have recently encountered this issue on a real device, although the menu was working as expected on the watch simulator. In my case, the problem was in SF Symbol that I've used as an image.
Everything was fixed after replacing it with an image from the assets catalogue.
Meteor now support mobile apps. That's great. However, I find that the app running as a mobile app is not the same as running in a mobile browser.
When it runs as a mobile app, if the user wants to input to a text field, a soft keyboard shows up. Then, after the user finishes and click the button (at that point, the soft keyboard is still shown), the app brings to another page. However, the new page renders as if the soft keyboard still exists so the lower portion of the screen is blank. The elements that are rendered to a fixed position (like footer) still shows up at the bottom though. Even though the lower portion of the screen is blank, the elements are still there. If I tap the blank portion, and if there is a link or button in the place I tap, the app still brings me to the new page. Since I use Meteor and ratchet, I don't know which one is the issue.
I suspect the issue is that when the user clicks the button, the Meteor renders the new page immediately, but the soft keyboard get hidden afterwords.
This situation doesn't happen when the meteor app runs in a mobile browser, however.
I use meteor, iron-router, and ratchet. The issue is identified in an android 4.X device. Any idea how to fix the mobile app specific issue? Thanks.
PS. If I delay firing the page transition by a second, I don't have the issue. So my suspicion is correct that the page transition happens before the keyboard is hidden.
