Xcode Ipad Simulator Background Image Stretched

Question

Whenever I run my app through any of the Ipad simulators in xcode, the background image is stretched or zoomed in and looks really abnormal. When I run the simulator for the Iphones the background image is fine. Does anybody know what might be causing this?

edit:

Please see the following screenshots of the launchimage (how it should look) and the background once the app is done loading.

Answer 1

I've noticed your original image has resolution of 2048x1536, which is Retina display's resolution.

Solution: Rename it adding a suffix of @2x (eg: if your image's called background.png , rename it to background@2x.png ).
