I end up with a white space at the bottom of the IPhone6 simulator when zI set a page background. I am beginning to think that learning Swift is the way to go. Thanks, Red Dog. That should be useful.

I want the app packaged by XCode as a native app. It definitely will not pass Apple review if the background does to extend the increased height and width of the iOS6 but stops at the edges of the old 320 by 480 screen. Is there anyway to increase the image size within Buzztouch to lay out each screen as 375 by 667? If not, I will have to migrate over to another platform. Comments Niraj: I think I misunderstood.

For any HTML content, you will have to write JavaScript to select the correct image based on the device type. -- Niraj Comments You want the correct sized images to display on these screens? - iPhone 3GS (non-retina, 320 x 480px) - iPhone 4 & 4S (retina @2x, 640 x 960px) - iPhone 5 & 5S (retina @2x, 640 x 1136px) - iPhone 6 (retina @3x, 750 x 1334px) - iPhone 6 Plus (retina @3x, 1080 x 1920px) We have code that you can drop into your app that will automatically take care of the images that are in the native plugins.
