Show/hide UIToolbar, “match finger movement”, precisely as in for example iOS7 Safari

There is no open-source that does this, but I don’t see it as that difficult to implement. It may be somewhat more difficult to have the exact 1:1 behavior as Safari, but it can still be done.

MobileSafar can be attached to in the debugger and, using breakpoints and the Objective C runtime, debugged and reverse engineered.

For example, your two assumptions that no toolbar and navigation bars are used are incorrect.

Here is the view hierarchy before scrolling:

And after scrolling:

As you can see, the bars have been moved from their normal location.

Breaking on -[BrowserToolbar setFrame:], here is the stack trace:

So it all happens after a notification of scrolling.

I put a breakpoint on MobileSafari'___lldb_unnamed_function990$$MobileSafari and to get the self variable, print po $arg1. This is where all the magic happens:

If you are really interested in 1:1 replication, you can put breakpoints on these methods and investigate. Good luck!
