Sorry, I feel this will be pretty basic answer.
As I understand it the iphone screen is 320 x 480 points.
The status bar is 20 points high.
Does this not mean that your working space should be 460 points high?
It’s just that when I drag out an imageview, even with the status bar visible, the panel on the right says it is 480 points high.
Also, how best to allow for extra bars at the top, (such as personal hotspot connected), I believe they push the screen down? Should all images be set to aspect fit or something?
1) you can manually change the size of imageView in the attributes inspector
2) When you drag an imageView out onto your xib, it fill up the entire screen automatically even if there is a top navigation bar
You can just manually change the size
3) Yes all objects are automatically set to aspect fit as imageView automatically resizes
