Is there a way to opt in to iOS 9 side-by-side multitasking without also opting into slide over?
The background is that our app UI copes fine in side-by-side, but doesn't really work at all in the narrow slide over mode. The app is mostly a PDF annotator, so the narrow slide-over mode doesn't really even make much sense from the point of view of the user experience.
I've been through the documentation/WWDC session and the only configuration possible seems to be using UIRequiresFullScreen
which controls both side-by-side and slide-over at the same time.
Is there any way we can disable just slide over?
Two years on, I can confirm that this does simply seem to not be possible.
The only workaround I can see would be to display a simple view controller in slide-over mode that just says something like 'Please open the window wider to use this app', but it's not really a good user experience.
In the end we reworked our UI so it could do something workable in slideover mode.
