MMAppSwitcher is a small Objective-C library that lets iOS 7 apps replace the default scaled-down screenshot in the app switcher with a custom card view. Apps provide the card via a data source protocol and can refresh it during background fetches or silent push wakeups.
Use cases
- customize the iOS 7 app switcher card for my app
- show live data in the multitasking card view
- replace the default app snapshot in the app switcher
- update the app switcher card on background fetch
- build a time tracking app with a custom switcher card
When to choose
- you are building an iOS 7 app and want a branded or live-updating card in the app switcher
- you want a tiny drop-in class or CocoaPods dependency with a one-method data source
When to avoid
- you target iOS 8 or later, where this hack no longer applies
- you need App Store-safe techniques only, since similar tricks may be rejected
- you need to test on the simulator, since the custom view only appears on real devices
