iPad Retina development


If I currently have an ipad app that supports ios 5.0 how do I go about merging my graphics to fit flush on an ipad 3 & ios 5.1?

I have been looking through these apple docs, but I'm not finding anything about 5.0 to 5.1 conversion. Any tips?

I just want to be able to use high resolution graphics. My current graphics are all pixelated on the 5.1 sim.

Thanks!

  • You'll need to update your apps with @2x versions of your iPad graphic assets, at a minimum. So for MyImage.png you'll need a double-size version named [email protected]. If you have a universal app, and say, the following 3 images for iPhone, iPhone Retina, and iPad:

    you would need to create MyImage@2x~ipad.png.

    I think I have that right.... Could be that in this case the iPhone images would have ~iphone in their names too, but I don't think that is a requirement. (It's allowed, but not a requirement, I believe.)
