Is it possible to opt your iPad app out of multitasking on iOS 9

I have a large app that I will need some time to optimize for iOS9.

Edit: What I am worried about is all the UI getting squeezed together when the app window size is reduced. So my question is, is there any way to force full screen for the app?

Can you turn off Multitasking on iPad?

There is currently no option to completely disable the split-screen feature on iPads running iOS 15 and newer. Split View activates automatically when your iPad detects you're multitasking. To exit Split View, slide the split-screen bar all the way to the left or right, depending on which app you want to close.

How do I get rid of Multitasking apps on my iPad?

To close Split View, tap the Multitasking button in the app that you want to keep, then tap the full screen button . Or you can drag the app divider over the app that you want to close. To replace an app, swipe down from the top of the app, then choose another app from your Home Screen or Dock.

You have to modify your project to support multitasking. According to WWDC 2015 video, to adopt your app for multitasking, satisfy these requirements:

  1. Build your app with iOS 9 SDK
  2. Support all orientations
  3. Use Launch Storyboards

So, if any of this is not done yet, your app will not be able to support multitasking.

Of course, if you don't use size classes, put it at the top of the list.

Edit: according to you question edit. There is a UIRequiresFullScreen key in Info.plist. See more at Apple docs

Select your TargetGeneral Section → Scroll Down and check Requires full screen

It gets applied to the plist's UIRequiresFullScreen key value.

Note: Apps are required to support all screen orientations if it supports multitasking. Otherwise, apps will get the following error on publishing:

Invalid Bundle. iPad Multitasking support requires these orientations: ...
