My previous apps used 320x568 images. However this time around I wanted to include a 640x1136 retina size image for the Splash Screen. Either with or without @2x and jpg or png they do not scale to the fullscreen- seeing the center 320x568 area. I can use the same image as a bckground image on any other screen, and it sizes correctly! - EDIT: I am loading from URL. Just downloaded the splash plugin today so it is current. -------------- PS wanted to try out the Animated Splash instead of the bt_splash, but in Themes it can not be selected as a valid Splash screen??

I can workaround that limitation today, but would like to be able to load from URL :( - is that a BT or iOS restriction? Comments Thanks Thomas.

SmugWimp Smugger than thou... Posts: 6316 Reg: Nov 07, 2012 Tamuning, GU 81,410	03/08/15 05:15 PM (9 years ago) Although not 100%, I'd lean towards a combo of both apple and BT... Apple is looking for an image named 'myImage.png', like in your code. BT (typically) facilitates only one image via dataURL . Internally, with respect to iOS, if it's a retina device, it will 'automatically' look for a @2x or @3x filename, but it won't be available, so it 'should' try and make do with whatever image is there. What you may try to do is use a super good resolution (@3x?) for your dataURL image, with the old fashioned 'myImage.png' filename, and test to see if it works on all devices. Good Luck!
