I don’t think a config.lua fix will work because for some reason Corona thinks the top of the screen is 1024 instead of 0. This is a very strange bug that goes away if we build with the iOS 5.1 SDK. The only problem is that will require all users to use Lion (10.7) because Xcode 4.3 is not available for Snow Leopard. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 23408 reply_id: 93818[/import]
Sweet! Bring it on! 
…but with dire consequences, i see… [import]uid: 21331 topic_id: 23408 reply_id: 93821[/import]
@Tom: so if we use 4.3 and iOS 5.1, we can build the app again with old builds (726), and it will work? [import]uid: 90610 topic_id: 23408 reply_id: 93822[/import]
@dingo, no, the iOS 5.1 build is done on our server but you need the Xcode 4.3.1 tools on your computer to finish the build process. Currently we build using the iOS 5.0 SDK.
We need to do more work on this now that we know it’s a device issue. We can’t be sure of the solution until we look at all the options. This is a high priority issue and we will find a solution ASAP. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 23408 reply_id: 93825[/import]
sry, i messed that up, thanks for your answer.
thanks for going into it, and good luck! [import]uid: 90610 topic_id: 23408 reply_id: 93826[/import]
Hello,
My apps are not working either. I am real surprised there are not more people posting with all the corona apps out there. I downloaded quite a few Corona apps and they all do the same thing.
I will patiently wait for a fix. The part that ticked me off is I when in to post a brief message in iTunes connect about the problem, it would not let me make that simple change without uploading all new screenshots even though it already has the screenshots. Since they have the new policy they make you change them when you go to make even a little text change.

Same here. All of my iPad Apps (eg. Chinaskop and X-teroids HD) show the scaling bug. They all have different config.lua settings, but show the same strage graphics. As described, touch events are placed and recognized correctly!
I updated the store descriptions warning all iPad 3 users that there is a serious issue. Not funny! And furthermore: Chinaskop (launched March 2011) was compiled and updated with Corona build 706 to ensure iOS 3.1 compatibility. Even if Ansca fixes the bug with a new build, this forces me to use that new build and cut all my previous customers still having to stay with iOS 3.1 - 4.2 for some reason. Really not funny.

BTW, today our new app, incompatible with iPad 3, was reviewed and approved by Apple. It means that even the Apple testers do not have new iPads yet… [import]uid: 7038 topic_id: 23408 reply_id: 93879[/import]
Some our apps are displayed correctly as I already mentioned here http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2012/03/07/corona-performance-ipad-3-retina-display?page=1#comment-93859
All our apps are iPad only (not universal).
It looks that the correctly working apps are our older apps but I am not sure what Corona version I have used. These are for example
Basic Math with Mathaliens HD
Animals - Zoo and Farm - Kids HD by 22learn
Some our apps display blank screen only (after displaying default.png), for example:
Abby - Easter Math HD by 22learn
Abby - Animal Train - First Word (Farm animals, ZOO, Colors…)
Abby Preschool - Shape Puzzle - Toys
Some our apps display a similar problem like mentioned by other developers (only lower right quarter visible):
Abby - Painter Star
ABC - Letters, Numbers, Shapes and Colors with Mathaliens HD
It looks that there is a Corona version or settings which works also with new iPad. The problem is that I have to install older XCode version to be able to compile with older Corona versions.
But I am starting to work on it.
After some testing I can say that all our apps which are displayed correctly were compiled at the end of 2010 year (November 2010). These are pretty old Corona versions without many important features, so using this version is not a solution…

Edit: I just read the blog post regarding the iPad3 display issue: http://blog.anscamobile.com/2012/03/update-ipad-retina-display/
It sounds like I have to drop the pre-4.3 iOS after all. I feel a bit of sadness but I totally understand why we just have to.
Thank you, Ansca Tearm, for all your effort. It’s amazing how you respond and deliver fixes so fast.

@StarTony, I’ve been using 706 but am switching to 704A so as to support pre-4.3 iOS, iPad (Retina) and iOS 5.1. Take a look at this post:

I’m so grateful that Ansca made this available.
