Question

Now i am using macbook pro with 13 inches.

Yesterday i upgraded XCodes version to 4.3.2.

In that iPad Simulator is too big and iPad Retina Simulator is also too big.

It’s not fix my screen.

iPad Retina Simulator size is take all of my screen and it’s can only show iPad’s dock.

I can’t see overview iPad screen.

I always scroll down and up to test.

When i change Simulator’s Window > Scale into 75 %, It’s still too big.

50% is too small and can’t see anything clearly.

When i develop with XCodes 4.2 , iPad Simulator is fix size and okay to test.

I want iPad simulator size fix my screen.

Is there anyways?

If my question is out of question, so sorry for that.

Thanks.

Maybe it’s because the iPad 3 have a really large resolution (2048×1536). That’s more than most computer screens. You will need to zoom out to display the entire screen just because of this, or you must get a larger (higher resolution) screen for your computer if you don’t want to scale the program.

The reason for this is that the iPad 3 have much tighter pixel density than most other computer screens so each pixel on the iPad is smaller than each pixel on your computer screen.
