## AI overview

Codename One's iOS builds now disable screenshot generation by default. This enables apps with native peers, such as maps and browsers, to work from the first screen, while also simplifying the default splash screen and potentially reducing build time and binary size.

## Source excerpt

In February I wrote about a new/improved way to build for iOS without the screenshot process. That was a bit ahead of its time as the xib build didn't disable the screenshot process yet. This is now fixed and it's turned on by default now. That means that if you send an iOS build it won't go through the screenshot generation process. This means that apps with native peers in the first screen such as maps, browser etc. will start working with this coming update. It also means the splash screen of the application on iOS will be relatively simple by default. You can customize it using xcode to make it more appealing. The upside is things such as multi-tasking etc. will work correctly.
