Question

Possible to correctly package a universal landscape app with latest SDK?

I have a couple of universal apps on the app store. I want to update them but have refrained from doing so because of the remaining bugs in the SDK.

I am now wondering if anyone can give me some advice on this matter. Can anyone answer these questions?

For the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+, do I only require 3 new launch images to support these devices?

- Default-667h@2x.png for iPhone 6

- Default-Landscape-736h@3x.png for iPhone 6+

- Default-Portrait-736h@3x.png for iPhone 6+

Is this correct? If I package those using the latest Adobe AIR SDK (16), would these work fine on iOS 7 and 8?

Second question is more of a problem I am running into

I have tried setting the resolution to match the iPhone 6+ (2208x1242) using Flashdevelop and for some reason Flashdevelop only gives me a resolution of 2208x1164. I don't know why those pixels are missing.

Using the latest Flash CC Professional I get the same result unless I change the "fullscreen" flag in the app descriptor to false, then the resolution is correct. Of course, this is not what I want.

Does anyone know something about this? Is this a bug that I should file?

In short: setting the resolution to iPhone 6+ gives the wrong resolution (2208x1164 instead of 2208x1242) if fullscreen is set to TRUE, when testing the app in AIR.

I cannot try on an actual device since I don't have an iPhone 6 or 6+.

Any help would be awesome!

Hi Bram,

The defaults look ok,  there have been issues with AIR15/16 regarding the iOS simulator and these images, so its been hard to test stuff without real devices.

I think they are sorted for iOS 7.0 and 8.0 ... 8.1 not so ..

here's hoping its all fixed for iOS 8.1 in the next  AIR SDK

There is also a known AIR issue with dpi / resolution for iPhone 6 plus, also hoping this is sorted in next the SDK, it should be out any day soon..

A lot of folks will be dissapointed if the dpi problems are not resolved soon..
