black bars on iphone 6 plus

mmk.verheijden · July 1, 2015, 11:59am

getting these black bars on the iphone 6 plus and xcode simulator but not in the corona simulator

local aspectRatio = display.pixelHeight / display.pixelWidth application = { &nbsp; &nbsp; content = { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; width = aspectRatio \> 1.5 and 320 or math.floor( 480 / aspectRatio ), &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; height = aspectRatio \< 1.5 and 480 or math.floor( 320 \* aspectRatio ), &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; scale = "letterBox", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; fps = 30, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; imageSuffix = { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["@2"] = 1.5, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["@4"] = 3.0, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; },&nbsp; }

how can i fix this ?

Hi @mmk.verheijden,

Can you try removing those “variable” width and height lines and just replace them with constant values?

[lua]

width = 320,

height = 480,

[/lua]

Then report back what happens.

Thanks,

Brent

ps the display.setDefault( “background”, 0, 0, 1 ) doesn’t seem to work on ios ( corona Version 2015.2667 (2015.7.2) )

found the problem

fixed it by removing this form build.settings :

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;UILaunchImages = { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp;-- iPhone 4 Portrait &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion"] = "7.0", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageName"] = "Default", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageOrientation"] = "Portrait", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageSize"] = "{320,480}" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp;-- iPhone 5 Portrait &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion"] = "7.0", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageName"] = "Default-568h", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageOrientation"] = "Portrait", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageSize"] = "{320,568}" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp;-- iPad Portrait &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion"] = "7.0", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageName"] = "Default-Portrait", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageOrientation"] = "Portrait", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageSize"] = "{768,1024}" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp;-- iPhone 6 Portrait &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion"] = "8.0", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageName"] = "Default-667h", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageOrientation"] = "Portrait", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageSize"] = "{375,667}" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp;-- iPhone 6 Plus Portrait &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion"] = "8.0", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageName"] = "Default-736h", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageOrientation"] = "Portrait", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["UILaunchImageSize"] = "{414,736}" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; },

Now you have another problem. You are running in iPhone 5 compatibility mode.

You should put the code back in build settings, but make sure there is a space after the comma in the "UILaunchImageSize lines, i.e.

[“UILaunchImageSize”] = “{414, 736}” instead of:
[“UILaunchImageSize”] = “{414,736}”

Make sure to provide the right images too.

Hi rob everything seems to behave as it should without the code block on iPad iPhone 5/6 and it’s showing the right launch imagine… I’ll try the space, Ps what’s the benefit of adding this code other than the launch images?

rob · July 3, 2015, 2:12am

If you don’t include it, on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ you go into iPhone 5 compatibility mode. Basically the iPhone 5’s 640x1136 screen will be stretched to fit the two larger screens which may make your graphics and images not look as sharp.

mmk.verheijden · July 3, 2015, 2:51am

Okay I put the space in and now it’s working thanks for the tip
