Safe Page Curl

If you want your app to have a page flip like Apple does in iBooks, the short answer is: No, you can’t do that, because Apple cheats and uses private APIs, as dissected here:

Apple’s iBooks Dynamic Page Curl

… but the long answer, if you really really want to have a page flip kinda-sorta like that, can be found here:

App Store-safe Page Curl animations

It’s a discussion of the Leaves project to fake the iBooks curl in an App Store-safe fashion, forked to twopages branch to extend to side by side pages.

This all looks like quite a bit of trouble to go to, but hey if you really really want it, there’s a start!
