iPad simulator

Hi, I am using buzztouch 1.5 and xcode 4.3.1. I am trying to capture screen shots for iPad before I submit it to the apple store but for some reason on the ios ipad simulator I can only see half of the screen (from the middle down), I can see the remaining top part if I click on the middle of the screen and stretch it down but then goes back up again. Any clue why that is the case? My app is meant for both ipad and iphone, but is it a problem if I couldn't solve this issue if I submit the app? or chances it might get rejected? everything works perfectly for the iphone but not for the ipad. Thanks very much, Samira

Run the app on you iPad, press sleep button and homebutton on iPad at the same time, you now have a screenshot as picture in correct size, email it to your self :)

However, an easier way exists by opening your application in the iOS simulator, open the Edit menu, press Ctrl and magically the menu entry Copy Screen shows up. By selecting Copy Screen the current screen in the iOS simulator will be copied to your clipboard and you can insert it in your favorite image editing software.

I tried this and it allowed me to capture only one image of the main menu but I couldn't capture any of the sub menus (that are at the top) as I can't simply reach them! Is this normal? I tried googling this but I couldn't find a thing! Thanks again :-)!

This might sound a very silly question (it is!) but how can we post a screenshot here?

would apple reject the app if I didn't provide screenshots for the ipad? I have ones for the iphone? I am really fed up with it and I am planning to submit it without the ipad screenshots? do you think this is OK?

They could reject it yes, but you can resize the iPhone pictures to iPad and submit, and if you ever sort it out you can change to better quality pictures..

Hi Samara, I just pickup up an ipad for this very reason. When its on the istore I will make sure to check it on the device to see if its all ok. The great and good of the forum just checked one of my apps and found a few things I need to sort. Can I also say it lovely to have more posts from the far superior and beautiful gender as no offense to parker (my boy thinks he looks like the Rock) and my own forum pic but we wouldn't be winning modelling contracts any time soon. Although the more I look at Freds bear the more I feel romantically attached to it.

Just a question. When I submit my app to apple do I have to give them iPad screen shots even if my app is just made for iPhone?

Hi @ShatterBelt, You only need to provide screen shots for the device you are submitting your app for. @Samira, Glad you got it worked out! Let us know when the app gets approved! Mark
