i customized the view little bit - added app logo on top, change button from shape from round to square with corners + changed text from "Enter Passcode" to "Enter Application Passcode". Lets see if apple accept it.

There has been reported case of this happening where the app was also rejected, however their interface was quite similar to how the native lock screen looked.
Can you post a picture of yours? I suspect that any with the transparent background will always be rejected as it can be a little confusing.

@sharmavikas10 Hi! Would you mind telling us how did you end up with Apple validation?

[sharmavikas10]

@syky27 ... You just need to change the UI. The default UI is same as apple lock screen and apple doesn't like it. I added my app logo on top of view and reshaped button from circle to square with rounded corners and it worked for me. My app got accepted after this changes.

How do I change map UI if I am using pods. I am unable to get buttons's superview.

[mteece]

When you mean "map UI" do you want to change the layout of the buttons or do you want to just change the appearance of the buttons?

[mteece]

For others.

As source the - (void)setRoundedView:(UIView *)roundedView toDiameter:(CGFloat)newSize; in ABPadLockScreenView can be tuned via the cornerRadius.

As a Pod, there's no way to get the superview, perhaps we could look at exposing the cornerRadius as a property with a default in the ABPadLockScreenView.
