This dilemma has been sucking up way too much of my time today - Up until this point I've managed to kind of cheat by using one 320X570 image which would work decently on both the 3.5 and 4 inch screens Well for the app that I'm working on that's just not gonna cut it, so I really need to figure this out. I saw the thread in which Mackimack explains how he did it using some classes found on github - http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=F3198ED9C6D34C9FE3A5DDF - If you look at that thread you will see that two people (plus me) could not get this method to work. I don't know what magic Mackimack conjured up to get it working, but if anybody else wants to try to download those classes and test it out, let me know if it works Besides that, I'm sure there is some code that could be added in somewhere to enable this - I found this example on github as well -- + (UIImage*)imageNamedForDevice:(NSString*)name { if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) { if (([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height * [UIScreen mainScreen].scale) >= 1136.0f) { //Check if is there a path extension or not if (name.pathExtension.length) { name = [name stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@".%@", name.pathExtension] withString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"-568h@2x.%@", name.pathExtension ] ]; } else { name = [name stringByAppendingString:@"-568h@2x"]; } //load the image e.g from disk or cache UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed: name ]; if (image) { //strange Bug in iOS, the image name have a "@2x" but the scale isn't 2.0f return [UIImage imageWithCGImage: image.CGImage scale:2.0f orientation:image.imageOrientation]; } } } return [UIImage imageNamed: name ]; } That might work if I had any idea at all where that code was supposed to go -- any help would be very appreciated

Well, somehow I've solved my own problem through random experimentation This is what worked for me - 1. Download the four files here - https://gist.github.com/3799648 2. Go to UIImageH568.m (NOT UIImage+H568.m) -- everywhere you see "imageNamed" simply delete the d off of the end so that it reads "imageName" (I figured this might be the issue because "imageNamed" never appears in BT_background_view.m, but "imageName" does) 3. Create three sized versions of the same image using the following name formats - image.png, [email protected], and [email protected] ---- image.png will be 320x480, [email protected] will be 640x960, and [email protected] will be 640x1136 4. Put the three images into your Xcode project 5. Go to your control panel -- set image.png as your small device background image and set scale/position to "Full Screen/Preserve Ratio" That should do it

I wanted to help, but I had no clue, lol! Glad you worked it out! Cheers! -- Smug

Thank you for the information! This will be SUPER helpful! Glad you got it fixed :-)

Great stuff Absentia, cheers!

the tutorial above works in the simulator but you have to make further changes for it to run on a device - follow these steps for the four files (taken from stackoverflow) REPLACE #import <objc/objc-runtime.h> WITH #import <objc/runtime.h> #import <objc/message.h> Then to get rid of the warning, you add these two lines in the header file of the involved class : #if (TARGET_OS_IPHONE) - (NSString *)className; + (NSString *)className; #endif And then in the implementation (.m) file : #if (TARGET_OS_IPHONE) - (NSString *)className { return [NSString stringWithUTF8String:class_getName([self class])]; } + (NSString *)className { return [NSString stringWithUTF8String:class_getName(self)]; } #endif

Hia, Just had a solution on it yesterday which worked for me. It's the same path but simplified a bit. http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=F3198ED9C6D34C9FE3A5DDF&fid=127FE84288EBDBCF646C715&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=&currentPage=1

Oh, nice! - yeah you're way is much easier...guess I was overcomplicating things (I have a feeling I do that a lot)
