It turned out that the API that enables the front camera to be used while using Split View on the iPad is only allowed for Zoom, and the API usage application procedure has not been published.
API usage application procedure is not disclosed
Developer Jeremy Provost has discovered that Apple is providing Zoom, a video conferencing service, with an API that allows the front camera to be used while using the iPad’s multitasking split view.
Apple’s FaceTime is the only app that can use the front camera while using Split View.
When Provost confirmed with Zoom, it was found that Apple did not disclose the application procedure for using the API, and Apple specifically approved Zoom.
Probost doesn’t specify the process for getting permission to use the API, and allowing only certain apps is inconsistent with Apple’s claim that “all developers are treated equally.” I am wondering if it is.
The center frame of the new iPad Pro also supports third-party apps
Speaking of the front camera of the iPad, the new iPad Pro has a “center frame” that tracks the person of the subject during a video call and automatically adjusts the angle of view when the subject moves or another person enters the frame. The function is installed.
Apple has announced that it will support video conferencing apps other than FaceTime for its center frame feature.
