How to implement Split Screen Multitasking on iPad using Third party apps?

I tried to implement the Multitasking feature Apple provided using AIR application, but I seem to miss something.

I did the following as apple recommended:

  1. Compiled the app with iOS9 SDK.
  2. All orientation implemented.
  3. Storyboard added.

Still I do not see the vertical bar that divides the two app's for multitasking.

Let me know if you implemented this successfully in any third party apps?

Do third party apps support split view and picture Apple?

Individual Apps must be coded to support Split Screen / Slide Over functionality. Many third-party (and some Apple) Apps are yet to be updated.

How do I add multitasking to my iPad?

Open an app. Slide one finger up from the bottom edge of the screen until the Dock appears, then release. Touch and hold a second app in the Dock, then immediately drag it up out of the Dock. If you drag the app to the left or right edge of the screen, it appears in Split View with the current app.

How do I make two apps half screen on iPad?

To do split screen on your iPad, open one app and drag another app from the Dock to the side of your screen. To get rid of split screen, close one app by swiping it off the screen, or disable the feature altogether.

All 3 listed steps are correct. Please also make sure Requires Full Screen is set to NO. It works perfectly for me.

Please let me know if you (or anyone else) still have trouble with Split View support.

What iPad are you using to test your app? Not all iPads support this behavior. This table shows which iPads support Slide Over, Picture in Picture and Split View:

Documentation from Apple for more information.

By the way how did you manage to use launch screen storyboard with Adobe AIR application?
