    Hi @agueis

    Firstly, make sure you're making your game choosing iPhone (Landscape or Portrait) - not iPhone Legacy.

    Then before any images are imported into GSC, check Resolution Independence.

    Make all images to bring in, twice the size both width and length, that you want them to appear on-screen - for a full background image for instance, make it 1136 x 640.

    When you publish your game via GS publishing, you'll get the option to choose Letterbox or Overscan.

    If you've covered the iPhone5 area completely, you won't get any black bars, and when when the app is run on an iPhone4 or earlier, the image will have 88 pixels cut from each side (in letterbox mode). Hope that helps.

    Just put the image behind all of the actors in the scene. And just make it big enough for the larger screens to fit it.

    Hi again, there are many tutorials for help with a universal app build, here are 3 I found (they might vary with their approaches, so see which one you prefer. Btw, there are many more than these 3, for instance, there's yet another from @jonmulcahy but I can't find the link at the moment):
