iPad Simulator not receiving touch events outside of iPhone's 320x480 frame

Question

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{

UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
gestureStartPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];
    NSLog(@"test x:%f",gestureStartPoint.x);
    NSLog(@"test y:%f",gestureStartPoint.y);
    etc..

Srangely, I'm not receiving any log statements if I click outside a 320x480 frame (starting from upper-left corner). Elsewhere in touchesBegan I call other methods passing in the touch and these weren't responding, so put these NSLogs in.

What do I have to do to receive touch events from the full 1024x768 view?

Answer 1

Is your UIView actually the full size of the window?

Answer 2

I think there's a bug in the "Upgrade Current Target for iPad" task.

I fixed this issue by creating a new "Window XIB" with iPad as the product, then replacing the Window object in MainWindow-iPad.xib with the Window object in the new XIB. (Be sure to update the "window" outlet of your app delegate.)
