   I'm just starting to convert my game to a Universal app. I'm running 0.99.5b3, it's set to handle autorotation via UIKit as shown in the templates. I have all my graphics created and for some reason, Default.png isn't loading properly on the iPad (running 3.2.2).

   I have my files named Default-LandscapeLeft~ipad.png and Default-LandscapeRight~ipad.png as Apple's documentation outlines. I've added the UISupportedInterfaceOrientations key into my Info.plist file. The targeted device family is set to iPhone/iPad.

   Still, after following all the rules and suggestions from the forum, I'm getting an image that is clearly being scaled up and clipped to a frame that doesn't fit the screen.

   I know this isn't necessarily a cocos2d issue since Default.png is loaded before the App Delegate... Still, any suggestions would be extremely helpful!

   Thanks for the link, I had seen it (and I know how to use google). My concern is that goes against Apple's documentation:

   http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/BuildTimeConfiguration/BuildTimeConfiguration.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007072-CH7-SW18

   Application Launch Images > Providing Device-Specific Launch Images >

   "if the name of your application’s launch image on iPhone and iPod touch is MyLaunchImage.png, the iPad specific version would be MyLaunchImage~ipad.png."

   I'm concerned that when 4.2 ships on the iPhone, the UISupportedInterfaceOrientation key will be honored (it's not on 4.1 AFAIK) and it will try to load my iPad assets on the iPhone.

   But I guess I should just go with whatever works.

   @eshirt - do you have this entry in your Info.plist?

   UILaunchImageFile~ipad

   Shameless Blog post referral

   Eureka! I only put "UILaunchImageFile" in there. I vaguely remember seeing that key in the documentation, I must have just skimmed right past it.

   I feel much better now, knowing that the iPhone will (ideally) never try to load this file. :)

   And great blog btw - I put it on my Google Reader list!
