I’m building an app which relies on the gyroscope which is only available on

  • 0

I’m building an app which relies on the gyroscope which is only available on iPhone 4+. Thus I really only need consider Retina displays in my design.

Is there a way to specify only hi-res images in Interface Builder. Is there a Retina preview mode for IB (like there is for Simulator)?

I know about points versus pixels but currently, it seems I need to make both myicon.png and myicon@2x.png versions and specify the former in IB. If I only make only the former OR the later, even if they are hi-res, when they reach my iphone they’ve been scaled up to the size they would appear on a non-Retina display (and pixelated as a result).

thx!

    So basically, the answer is “NO”. Include 2 images, with both naming schemes.

    You can, however, choose to have them both be the same retina resolution. I’d imagine though it’s just plain safer to rescale them in bulk prior to deployment.
