App Store images again

[mcw]

I am trying to submit an update for my apps to the Apple App Store.

They are now demanding an iPhone 6.5 inch screenshot at 1242x2688 resolution. Apparently an iPhone XS Max or iPhone XR.

You don't have any skins that will generate this resolution. How are other developers coming up with these screenshots?

Thanks,

Martin

Upsize and crop a smaller screen shot.

Apple doesn't require an actual screen shot, just a representative image.

Thanks Dave.

I did notice that the iPhone X simulator has the aspect ration so I could scale that one.

I built my app on XCode but even that did not have the new device types, so now I am upgrading to XCode 10.

We usually just use websites like this: https://www.appstorescreenshot.com/

There are quite a few of them and they produce better looking screenshots with value added details.

Sorry but I don't get that site. I uploaded my image, all I end up with is this funky image at 1242 x 2208, but Apple now wants 1242 x 2688. I tried others but they all want you to register first.

I finally got XCode 10 installed and was able to run my app in their simulator and generate a correct sized image. But you need a Mac to do that. I though with CodenameOne you didn't need a Mac.

I am so tired of this crap, every time I submit an update to the Apple App Store I have to go through this. I have been working on this all day. Apple sucks! You really need to address this issue.

There are a lot of these: https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=app+screenshot+generator

I also used: https://theapplaunchpad.com/

https://appinstitute.com/app-screenshot-maker/

and http://www.appscreenshot.me/

Although they change frequently so I have no idea if they're still good/free.

Generally you give one screenshot with a good aspect ratio. When you're done it generates a zip file that includes directories for every resolution/device skin.
