After careful review of your app, we found the following issue with the user interface of your app:

• Was not optimized to support the device screen size and/or resolution when reviewed on iPad Air running iOS 8 and iPhone 5s running iOS 8

It seems you are submitting a universal app but it isn't optimized. Do you have iPhone and iPad screenshots to compare?

The review doesn't really make a specific point of saying your app was rejected due to not being optimized for iOS8 - it is saying the app didn't fit the screen size, iOS8 just happens to be the OS they were using during testing, I expect it would have been rejected under iOS7 and iOS6 too, iOS8 is not the issue here, the issue is that you app doesn't fit the screen.

Yep! I see the problem as well. @reginald.bernardin‌ you haven't optimized the app for iPad.

Looks like your using Overscan. try using stretch that way it will fit the screen.

I used lettering box so the aspect ratio is stays the same is that ok?

apple doesn't accept letter boxing.

Though that is correct in theory, I have come across apps with a letterbox.

In any case, this here looks like overscan, not letterboxing.

Apple just accepted my universal app that is letterbox for iPad but fits perfect on iPhone.

i think their letter boxing requirement is across phones, but on an iPad it's ok

The_Gamesalad_Guru

Yeah I should read the new guidlines. apple is up and down with this stuff.

Bungo letterboxes on iPhone 4s. I think this rule applies with some common sense, and depending on the type of game.
