Apple Rejected My App For Being Letterboxed

SolarPepperStudios

I've sent in about 5 different versions of apps that have the letterbox enabled and this is the first time they rejected it. Is this guy just being a grump (maybe his cat died and he isn't having a good day) or should I re-build my app?

Apple has some new rules, as of May 1st.

You must support full screen for all targeted devices, as well as support for both retina and non retina displays.

@utveckla_games oh you disappoint me. We've been talking about all this for a week now how Apple will reject black bar apps now. I know you read the forums often. Too much day dreaming... @-)

yeah they are probably cutting off letter boxing ahead of the new requirements so no one can hold it over and go live after may 31st

@FryingBaconStudios Really? What forum post? Also ugh. Time to redo my project... X(

Strange thing is that my app was approved yesterday and I uploaded it may 3rd before the UDiD problems here...

Why would you want your app to be letter boxed when it looks so much better in full screen mode on the device?

What resolution is the full resolution for the game? iPhone 5? And is letterbox for the iPhone 4 and under?

Here is one from May 8 and I know there are others as I commented on a few.

Ah, I have two sons so it's habit...lol if he spent more time learning and reading and not playing grab ass on the forum he would know these things. There have been like 10 threads on this in the last few weeks. Because I posted in a few where I directly said black bars are no longer acceptable.

LOL - should we called FBS Dad now?

@VoidedSky Yes, full screen on 5 and not on iPhone 4 and lower. Sorry @FryingBaconStudios To tell you the truth I've only been on a little this week (including thursday and friday last week) because of finals. I've only had the browser page open so thats why it says I was on. :-< Well, back to building my app for the 10th time. #-o
