iOS Question Adapt to all iOS resolutions?

Scotter · Feb 15, 2020

Does anyone want to share an app I can use as a template to get started on building a simple iOS app that adapts to all current iPhones and iPads? This will be my first iOS app.
What I want to make is an iOS version of this Android app I made a couple years ago: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Cobra.CalcMaterials.
I'm not asking for more than the project files for any iOS app that just has a screen set up that adapts well to all (or at least many) iOS screen sizes.
Thanks!

Moved to the questions forum.

it's exactly the same as on Android.

use screen percentages (10%x) or if you prefer the designer use the scripts there and the anchors.

if I recall right all iPads have a 3:2 aspect ration and iPhone 16:9.
so you only have 2 different states you could focus on but depending on the app you don't even need to keep that in mind.

Thanks for the tips! I'm glad to hear I can copy what I've done in B4A in terms of the designer.
One thing I am not so good at: My Android apps don't adapt as well as I'd like them to to different resolutions.
This is why I was hoping someone could share one of their designer files made specifically for iOS.
Do you have one you could share for me to study?

I recommend building the layout with the designer. This is especially important in B4i and B4J, which do behave differently than B4A in relation to orientation and screen size changes.
