UIModalPresentationFormSheet Resizing and Human Interface Guidelines

Question

I was just wondering if it was alright to resize (or move) a presented view controller, like one with UIModalPresentationFormSheet style or if this is against Apple Human Interface Guidelines.

As stated in the HIG document, "Form sheet. Has fixed dimensions of 540 x 620 points and is centered in the screen", "When the keyboard is visible in landscape, a form sheet view moves up to just below the status bar" and "This style is good for gathering structured information from the user".

So, would it be a violation of the HIG if I use another dimension, I choose another behavior for when the keyboard shows or if I use an all different paradigm to gather structured information? (Like, for example, not even using two different view controllers to gather and display information)

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

short answer no, you are not violating hig in this case. you can change that behavior and you should be fine with apple guidelines as well.
