Is it too much to add a "Get Premium" button to the frontpage of Runestone for users who have not yet purchased Premium? I am considering adding it only on the iPad and Apple Vision Pro, where there is more space for the button.
@NateBarham I'm using Apple's UIDocumentBrowserViewController to display files, folders, and the sidebar. To my knowledge it does not support customization of the sidebar.
@simonbs In the free version of SmartGo One, I’m adding a view with a button at the bottom of the list of games to remind people to upgrade to Pro. Your button looks fine, not obtrusive at all; if you wanted to make it smaller, remove the ‘Get’?
@simonbs I think the idea of a button is perfectly fine. Apple’s lack of customization points for UIDocumentBrowserViewController is super frustrating though. Add to that the paradigm where UDBVC is supposed to be the initial VC and this is really your only option, I think. And the final hiccup, for me, UDBVC never seems to align a custom button quite right so it always seems a little off.
@simonbs I just grabbed the TestFlight and was confused about where to find the app settings on this page. Usually one of the first things I go to check out but it seems to be missing until you open a file.
@simonnickel Yeah, unfortunately I don’t have much flexibility because I’m using UIDocumentBrowserViewController and it provides very few customization points.
@simonnickel As far as I know, I can’t add anything to the sidebar. Adding it as an overlay to the bottom would mean that I’d need to adjust the scroll insets of the scroll view containing the folders. I can’t do that either.
@simonbs you really should but I think it makes more sense in the bottom left as a fixed UI element. Feels too much a button connected to what’s selected right now, as opposed to associated to app universally.
@bardi I agree that it is an awkward location, but I don't have many options because this UI is mostly provided by Apple, and it provides developers with few customization options.
@_holger It would fit perfectly on that screen, but as soon as you navigate to a folder, there is significantly less space and unfortunately, adding a button will add it to all screens for browsing folders.
@simonbs alternatively I would put it underneath the tabs. I‘m putting player controls at the bottom of my new podcasting app, that could be a solution.
