upgrade to universal app - size of mainWindow-iPad is 320x480

Question

Hi,

I have the following problem. I have an iPhone app and want to upgrade to universal When I do this, I get the expected MainWindow-iPad.xib. But the size of the window is hardcoded to 320x480. Also, there is no view in the window. I red, this should be automatically iPad-sized, so I am assuming I am doing something wrong. What exactly am I missing ? thanks in advance

Answer 1

You will probably also need to create a MainWindow-iphone.xib and MainWindow-ipad.xib.

Answer 2

Yes, the dimensions of a UIWindow object are hard-coded to the size of the iPhone screen. This confused me, too, until I realized there was an option to resize it: select the UIWindow object in the .xib in Interface Builder... in the Attributes pane, make sure the "Full Screen at Launch" checkbox is checked.

As St3fan says you'll probably want to have a specific main window .xib for your iPad build.

Answer 3

I got this. I fixed it by deleting the automatically created ipad xib, then opening the original xib in interface builder and choosing convert to iPad from the menu. Then ni saved it with the -iPad name and added it to the corredt target.
