iPad app screen dimensions

Question

I built an iPad app.I do not want to use AutoLayout.I would like to handle position of UIElements according to view size.

I try to take screen dimensions with this code:

CGRect screenRect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
CGFloat screenWidth = screenRect.size.width;
CGFloat screenHeight = screenRect.size.height;

But when i test the app on iPad simulator and iPad Retina simulator i always get the same result and some of UIElements disappear. I want to take screen dimensions to position my elements in the right point.But i do not get different bounds for iPad and iPad Retina simulators.

In iPhone app i got screen dimensions and i check if height is equals to 480 or not and i handle position of my elements.

In iPad how can i do this?

Answer 1

iPad and iPad retina have different resolutions. But their physical screen size is the same. Thats the reason why you get the same value for both.
