Detecting iPhone X swipe up from bottom (DEF-3870)(SOLVED)

Questions
1

Touches get “stuck” when swiping up on an iPhone X in my game. I’m trying to catch it (unsuccesfully) with this code:

local function window_callback(self, event, data)
	if event == window.WINDOW_EVENT_FOCUS_LOST then
		is_touching_screen = false -- Not triggered on iPhone X swipe up
	end
end

window.set_listener( window_callback )

I also use this code:

function on_input(self, action_id, action)

	if action.pressed then
		is_touching_screen = true
	elseif action.released then
		is_touching_screen = false -- Not triggered on iPhone X swipe up
	end

end

Neither seem to fix the problem. Any other options available, or should I wave the unfixable red flag?

Bump!

Hmm, we need to investigate this. @AGulev, maybe we can take a look at this today? This might have to do with touch detection outside of the safe areas of the phone. @sven?

On our side, we can fix an issue with event “stuck” but you should to implement respecting of Apple guidelines about “safe area” yourself https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/visual-design/adaptivity-and-layout/

Thanks, that’s a great link. Is there a way to get the safe areas in Defold? In my game I prevent taps at the bottom, using a value guesstimated by me.

Yes. @sven created this extension a while back: GitHub - defold/extension-safearea: Simple native extension library for Defold that will change the view/render of a game to fit into the safe area on newer iPhones.

Ah yes, it’s for Facebook Instant. Damn this muddling of platforms!

Ah, yes, true. There’s probably a way to get the safe areas in HTML5. Maybe something like this:
