Side swipe menus are pretty popular in iOS applications, so I was wondering if there are any options offered in iOS 8 that allow for it to be implemented in a more straight forward way (like how you can load a screen modally with one click).
This was helpful but it's three years old at this point.
I've found tutorials on how to do it (AppCoda and UXMag), but most of them are at least a year old as well.
I'm wondering if iOS 8 offers new functionality that would make the design a little bit easier?
I've read some about the split view controller that was enhanced in iOS 8. Could that be used to the same effect as the example shown below?
