  • 0

When I create a new universal app, I see that initial controller xib files have suffix of “_iPad” and “_iPhone”.

This is fine, and I understand that app delegate selects the correct file by userInterfaceIdiom

However, I read that I could achieve the same effect with the suffixes of “~iPad” and “~iPhone” automatically

I am very curious about this. If this selection can be done by adding a tilde (~) notation, why doesnt the default universal app file structure use it?

    Yes, you are right.
    Iam using ~ipad and ~iphone for loading images from application bundle and it works like a charm. It saved me a lot of work, because this approach is pretty strait forward. As Till said people are different and some loves to control everything and some not 🙂
