Submitting to Apple... at what size ?

[Chris Sheffield]

For iPad, I've always built at 1024 x 768, simply because my iMac's screen doesn't easily accommodate the larger size. So that means that everything has to scale up when the app runs on the retina display. Usually this isn't a big deal, especially if you're using something like tmControl, MobGUI, or Monte's mApp plugin. I haven't had an app get rejected, but if I understand correctly, Apple does now require that apps natively support the retina display. So you can't just create an app at 1024 x 768 and let the OS scale it for you. It would look pretty cruddy. You have to make use of iphoneUseDeviceResolution and then scale your graphics up and make sure you have appropriately sized images.

HTH,
Chris
