iPad retina landscape splash screen oddity- A solution

Post by CALL-151 » Wed Jun 13, 2012 9:57 pm

I'm using LC 5.5.0 (1479) and Xcode 4.3.2/iOS Sim 5.1. I've noticed that the highres landscape splash screen (a.k.a. Launch Image in Apple parlance) moves during the launch sequence. When the status bar is hidden it shifts left and up. When the status bar is visible it shifts up. Based on this, I'm guessing that the shift is 40px. This is quick but obvious enough to be distracting on hardware. It's so fast on the simulator that it's hard to see unless you enable "Toggle Slow Animations". This appears to be a landscape specific glitch. Anyone else getting this? (Yes, my landscape PNG is 2048 X 1496).

This issue is resolved by using an @2x splash screen of 2048X1536. Apple says it should be 2048X1496, and LiveCode will warn you that your image is of the wrong dimensions. Just click OK and you're good to go.
