Hello everyone, I didn't notice until today that in Platform if I chose iPhone Landscape that is the screen size for iPhone 5 and Legacy iPhone Landscape is for iPhone 4S.
If I want to make the game for both of them, but I don't want my game with a black stroke in the iPhone 5, what can I do?

    Overscan.

    Either build for iPhone5 (landscape) and crop off material from the left and right when on iPhone4 . . .

    . . . or build for iPhone4 and crop off material from the top and bottom when on iPhone5 . . .


    And if simple overscanning is too crude a method for your project you could design separate layouts for each aspect ratio within the same game - and have the user choose which he/she/it wants in the settings.
