Will it be possible to dynamically pass the width/height used for the dynamic scaling to the coronaView?
The idea is to use native methods to get proper width/height for different devices, this will help a lot for non games apps that use widgets, for example I want the TableView row height to always be 0.4 Inch no matter of the device resolution and size used.
Not yet. I’ll log this as a feature request.
For IOS it should be something like a initWithConfiguration method for controller and pass a NSDictionary to Corona and be able to access that NSDictionary as a Lua table.

In the current version (or anything above 2207) you should be able to do this by creating an instance of NSDictionary passing in the contentWidth/Height. You probably want to remove the width/height settings in your config.lua:
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber numberWithInt:640], @“contentWidth”,
[NSNumber numberWithInt:480], @“contentHeight”,
nil];
// Passing nil to run main.lua in root of the .app bundle
[coronaView runWithPath:nil parameters:params];
I am currently using Corona Cards, 2014.2238.
Can you give a better example of how this is supposed to work?
I am calling the method provided using the described method of doing so, and then check to the information on the LUA side.
The size does not change, and I would like to verify that I am using the method in the intended way.
Here is the obj-c code I am using to accomplish this.
[coronaView runWithPath:nil parameters:@{ @"contentWidth": @([[self view] frame].size.height), @"contentHeight": @([[self view] frame].size.width) }];
On the LUA, do I need to attach a listener to the Runtime to see the size change, or does it handle the size change automatically?
Thanks
