Hi,

Should I publish my future games with Legacy Iphone Landscape so they can work on old devices, or should I publish with Iphone Landscape. Would really appreciate any info.......God Bless...

Sincerely,

Sunday

    It is the size of the screen. Legacy is 480x320 and the other is 568x320.
    and for which one you choose. It solely matters on your opinion I would do it on non legacy.

    If you want your app to ONLY work on iPhone4s and earlier (also iPods too) then use legacy. It kind of restricts your market and means you app will have to be rebuilt with larger graphics for non-legacy phones later if the app is successful.

    Really the only reason to stick with the Legacy format is that you only want your app to work on those devices and that usually needs a very good reason.

    I cannot think if one.

    @luke2125 - It is possible to change things around in your scene and make it so that your app supports both. Just make rules that say that if scene.size.height = 568 then do (blank).

    I'd do both if I were you. Also look in to universal builds.
