Question

iPad Pro

I am about to submit my first AIR apps to the app store this week.  Unfortunately, I never got a chance to test my app on an iPad Pro.  I have scaled all my fonts for the various screen resolutions, and all my page layouts are calculated based on screen size and resolution, so in theory it should work on an iPad Pro, but I have never had an opportunity to test it.  Do you think that it is safe to include iPad Pro on the App Store when I submit my app? Have any of you found any funny issues with delivering on iPad Pro that I should be aware of before I submit?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Hi

I just got an e-mail today from a user saying that my app doesn't run full screen on his iPad Pro 'with a big screen' ((12.9” 2732x2048 ?).

My app is running a resolution of 1024x768 pxiels.The app is automaticly scaled to double size (2048 x 1536) for iPad runs that resolution but I haven't tested the app on the largest ipad Pro.

The Stage.scaleMode was set to StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE in my app;

I think setting the scaleMode to 'SHOW_ALL' would do the trick?

Stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

Stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;

Please let me know if anyone tried this or know how to get an app to scale to fullscreen!

Than you!

Rolf

All of my apps are either the default of showAll (meaning, if you don't set the scale mode, you get showAll) or noBorder. All of them work fine on iPad Pro.

If you do use noScale then you have the responsibility of doing whatever scaling is needed.

One thing though, I think that if you don't include the splash screens for iPad Pro, iOS should make a 2048x1536 app fill the screen. It's the presence of the splash screen that tells iOS that you're intending to support the higher resolution.

Thanks Colin.

For some reason it’s already working on ipads running 2048 x 1536. I’ll try to set the Stage.scaleMode to StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL..

I’ve already added splashscreens in Xcode for Landscape. 1xLandscape (1024x768) and 2xLandscape.(2048x1536) when creating the .car file. Shouldn’t that be sufficient?

Thanks a lot!

No issues on my end with IPad pro, everything displays correctly with my resolution system.
