8.1.10 Reporting the ScreenSize of a iPhone7: 0,0,375,667

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

Well, the problem is the SA builder in 8.1.10 does not has a "slot" for iPhone 7+

I wonder if I can add it after the SA is built...

I will definitely check out your stack.

    For iOS, you must have a splash screen image for every native resolution
    that you need to access.  If you don't have a 7+ splash, then you won't get
    a true 7+ rect.  What happens is that automatic scaling kicks in at the
    device level, so your stack only gets one of the splash images sizes.  So,
    the app is telling the phone what resolutions it supports via those splash
    screens and then the OS is adjusting to ensure that the full screen gets
    used.
    
    You can download my mobileProfile demo stack from the forum.  It uses
    profiles and GM to take care of resize when device rotates.  You can do it
    without profiles/GM, but it would at least let you see how it can work.

    One note is that GM/PM both work on mobile now without having to manually
    include any code (common library didn't get included when the post was
    written).
    
    I have not looked at this code in a while though.
    
    Thanks,
