- Added new custom launch screen code. It uses the launch screen nib when available on iOS 8+, the launch images dictionary if the launch screen nib isn't available, and the old standard image names if the launch image dictionary isn't in the plist.
The launch screen is now hidden during the first call to SDL_PumpEvents rather than SDL_CreateWindow so apps can have the launch screen still visible if they do time-consuming loading after creating their window. It also fades out in roughly the same way as the system launch screen behavior.
It can be disabled by setting the SDL_IPHONE_LAUNCHSCREEN define in SDL_config_iphoneos.h to 0.
- A blank UIView is now created and displayed when the window is first created. The old behavior was to defer creating any view until SDL_GL_CreateContext, which prevented rotation, touch events, and other windowing-related things from working until then. This also makes it easier to use SDL_GetWindowWMInfo after creating a window.
- Moved the keyboard and animation callback code from SDL's UIView subclasses to its UIViewController subclass, which lets them work properly in all cases when a SDL window is valid, even before SDL_GL_CreateContext is called and after SDL_GL_DeleteContext is called.
- SDL_GL_CreateContext, SDL_GL_SwapWindow, SDL_GL_MakeCurrent, and SDL_GL_DeleteContext are more robust.
- Fixed some edge cases where SDL windows weren't rotating properly or their reported sizes were out of sync with their actual sizes.
- Removed all calls to [UIApplication setStatusBarOrientation:]. It doesn't seem to work as expected in all cases in recent iOS versions.
- Some code style cleanup.

branch : iOS-improvements

SDL's code for exposing the accelerometer as a joystick on iOS currently uses UIAccelerometer, which was superseded by the CoreMotion framework and deprecated since iOS 5.
The UIAccelerometer code still works (for now), but it also throws deprecation warnings whenever SDL is built for iOS, since SDL's deployment target is no longer below iOS 5.
I've created a patch which replaces the old UIAccelerometer code with a replacement based on the CoreMotion framework. It has identical functionality (to SDL users), however iOS apps are now required to link to the CoreMotion framework when using SDL.

Now that SDL for iOS requires at least iOS 5.1 at runtime, there are several old codepaths in the UIKit backend which can be removed. I've attached a patch which does so.
Changed the CAS return value to bool, so it's efficient with OSAtomicCompareAndSwap32Barrier()
Added an atomic test adapted from code by Michael Davidsaver
This one is quite puzzling. I found a partial workaround, but I don't fully understand the reasons yet.
First, the console is complaining about not finding a nib for MainWindow.
I tried removing the entry for this in the info.plist, and the message went away, but it didn't really change anything.
Second, I stepped through this with the debugger and broke up some lines. It seems that the basic act of calling
view = [SDL_uikitopenglview alloc];
or even
view = [SDL_uikitview alloc]
will crash the program. The debugger messages plus the stack trace make me think it's not finding the SDL_uikitview classes for some reason. But I don't understand why this would be.
view = [UIView alloc] will not crash the program.
For kicks, I added a new definition of a class called SDL_object which subclasses NSObject in the same files as SDL_uikitopenglview and then call
view = [SDL_object alloc];
This does not crash the program.
So, then I modified SDL_object to subclass UIView. No crash.
Next, I made SDL_object subclass UIView<UITextFieldDelegate> . This crashes.
So it is the act of conforming to the UITextFieldDelegate protocol that is crashing things.
I don't understand why it would crash on alloc though. I'm guessing either a delegate needs to be set somewhere or one of the required methods needs to be implemented. But in the former case, I would not expect a crash, but a silent message to nil and something else doesn't work. And in the latter case, I would expect a compiler warning and an exception thrown instead of a crash.
Anyway, my temporary workaround is to change the interface declaration for SDL_uikitview to look like:
#if SDL_IPHONE_KEYBOARD
@interface SDL_uikitview : UIView<UITextFieldDelegate> {
#else
@interface SDL_uikitview : UIView {
#endif
And then disable the keyboard support in the SDL_config_iphoneos.h file.
/* enable iPhone keyboard support */
#define SDL_IPHONE_KEYBOARD 0

I've been sitting on this too long. I need to push.
It's untested because of the unrelated crashing bug I've been experiencing.
Also have a fix for SIZEOF_VOIDP in the config for both iPhone and Mac.
