Sometimes, an app goes out the watchful eye of Apples evaluation group and gets launched on the App Shop despite neglecting Apples strict guidelines for third-party iOS growth. HiddenApps by Bob Goelzhaeuser, a 15-year-old In German iOS developer, is one such example. After reading this article you’ll know that:
How To Disable iAds & Hide Stock Apple Apps Through HiddenApps Without Jailbreak
The whole factor of this free app is to let you cover up Apples stock apps from your home screen, like Passbook, Newsstand or Stock no jailbreak needed.
It can also turn off Apples iAds completely and provides you accessibility to a Field Analyze mode which gives you accurate readings of your mobile indication durability. You better download as its going down in 5, 4, 3, 2¦
Upon release, the app meets you with the choices to turn off iAds and hide stock Apple (see the screenies top of the post), moreover to the iOS Diagnostics and Field Test mode, which needs a mobile iOS system.
At first impact, I believed the system was not operating well.
Upon selecting the Hide Apps option and determining which stock app to hide, I was yanked out of the app and taken back to my screen. There, an app known as Spoof attempt to download itself, but was unable no issue how many periods I hit the Retry button.
RTF Time
Turns out thats the expected behavior when disabling iAds and hiding stock apps.
Spoof is not expected to download successfully so just disregard the download prompts (by hitting the Done button) and remove the Spoof app icon from your Home Screen. As it seems right in place of Apple stock app icon youre hiding, removing the Spoof app symbol effectively hides the underlying apple’s stock app.
Take it easy, your stock app will not get destroyed along with its data HiddenApps basically hides its icon. My only gripe with HiddenApps is having to do it again after a respiring or restart because iOS will instantly re-enable the iAd procedure and unhide all your stock apps.
As for disabling iAds, you have two choices: either select the iAdOptOut key to be taken to Apples iAd opt-out website (which only hinders interest-based focusing on, not iAds in general) or hit the Disable All iAds key, which does what the name says and needs you to go through the failed-app-download procedure outlined in the past passage.
HiddenApps is available for all non-jailbroken iOS gadgets.
iTunes launch notices smartly invoice it as a simple app that reveals you tips and techniques about your iDevice, but the developer, of course, refers to at his web site the iAd and app hiding features.
Hiding stock apps normally needs a jailbroken system, so this program should come in useful for all non-jailbroken people other there.
