Issues with iPod Touch (5th gen) tall screen support

Has anyone had any issues supporting the new iPod Touch’s tall screen? I recently built my app to support the iPhone 5 and it works great but just a few days ago, an iPod Touch user reported that my app looks “stretched” on his device. I didn’t have the latest iPod Touch so I asked a friend to test it for me and it really is stretched. It seems as if it’s running it on 640x960 but stretching it to fit the 640x1136 screen resolution. The weird part is that its working great on my iPhone 5. Any ideas why?

I’m using “zoomStretch” for scaling btw.

Thank you in advance! [import]uid: 44127 topic_id: 32426 reply_id: 332426[/import]

Hey, @egarayblas, not sure if this is the reason why you are having the issue, but it may be worth looking into. Take a look at the thread below.

Hi Naomi! Thank you for the response. I actually saw that thread and was going to reply but it was locked already. Anyway, it wasn’t the issue. I was also puzzled btw–I was using the Default-568h@2x.png with the regular hyphen and didn’t encounter any issues like yours. In fact, I tried changing mine using the “em dash” as stated in the thread and my app stopped supporting the tall screen.

I’m guessing my issue may have been related to scaling, which is “zoomStretch”. I know someone who’s also using “Letterbox” (same as yours) and didn’t have any issues with iPhone 5 and iPod Touch 5th gen tall screen support.

Anyone from Corona Labs please? I badly need to make my app work on the iPod Touch 5th gen too, not just the iPhone 5. :slight_smile: [import]uid: 44127 topic_id: 32426 reply_id: 129051[/import]
