I've developed an app for iPhone (Portrait orientation) and with iOS 8.0. I checked that every single one of the Views are set for size of 4 inches. (I want to target iPhones 5, 5C and 5S).
Probably this is a very noob question, but I'm trying to submit an app into the itunes connect, but when I want to submit, the system replies that I need submit screen shots for 5.5 inches retina, 3.5 inches and 4.7 inches.
How do I correct this issue?, because even iPod is allowed to use my app in this moment.
Thanks guys!
Run the app in the simulator under every device screen size (E.g. iPhone 4, 5, 6, 6+) and for every screen, save the screen shot via Command-S.
That is because your app is naturally optimized for the iPhone 6+. Therefore from the documentation,
If your app indicates that it is optimized for the iPhone 6 Plus, at
least one 5.5-inch screenshot is required. Up to four additional
screenshots can be uploaded. You can rearrange the screenshots when
you create or edit the iTunes Connect record.
along with the fact that 4 and 3.5 inch screenshots are required.

Does it use the iPhone 6 Plus version? Where does it get it from?
I ask because I have been building my app based on screen dimensions. iPad's have different screen dimension ratios so I decided to make my app iPhone only. However, when I run my app on an iPad the positioning of everything is totally screwed up! But when I run it on every other iPhone device (from 5 to 6s plus because iPhone 4 dimensions are off) it looks fine!
So where does it get it's version from? Does it pull from the iPhone 4?
Every app can run on the iPad no matter if it is supported or not. If the app is NOT built for iPad (iPhone only) - it would show up as it shows up on an iPhone 4. Be sure that your screens support iPhone 4 or you won't make it past the app review process (annoying but true).
From the Apple iOS App Store Review Guidelines (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/):
2.10 iPhone Apps must also run on iPad without modification, at iPhone resolution, and at 2X iPhone 3GS resolution
This stackoverflow post has the sizes, as does the iTunes Connect App Properties.
However, I don't quite understand the sizes required.
My app will be for 4S, 5, 6, 6+. It also will technically run on the iPad.
I would like to take full advantage of what the App Store allows, and submit 5 screenshots.
Am I correct in that the only thing REQUIRED, is the 3.5 and 4 inch retina screenshots? What about with or without the status bar? It sounds like that decision is up to me, correct?
It mentions if my app is 'optimized for iPhone 6 or 6+'. What is this? I would probably say my app is optimized for iPhone 6. Should I mark this or leave it open?
I would like to submit 5 different screenshots (portrait only). I would also like to include the status bar. So it sounds like I need to submit 5 for 3.5" retina display (640x960), 5 for 4" retina display (640x1136), 5 4.7" retina display (750x1334), and 5 for 5.5" retina display (1242x2208). None for iPad, since my app is iPhone only. Is this all correct?
Are screenshots taken via the iOS Simulator acceptable for submission? Is there a way to standardize all the Battery Powers and Times to be the same, since it will likely take 10 minutes to take these 20 screenshots?
Yoy can take screenshots from simulator with it status bar. It will be approved for appstore. But better way its make screenshots in image editor( like ps,skatch and other).
u must make at least 3 screenshots for everyone screen(4,5,6,6+).
If I would like a certain screenshot to be displayed for all iphone screen size dimensions, how would I do this through the Xcode simulator? For example, when I select the simulator to run on the iphone 6 and hit cmd+s, a screenshot is saved but only for the iphone 6 dimensions. If I would like this same screenshot to be obtained for iphone 5 and iphone 4s, how would I do this? This app can also run in the simulator for iphone 5 and 4s but the same exact screenshot cannot be replicated for obvious reasons.
Apple requires different screenshot sizes for app submission and I would like the screenshots to be the same across the board.
You have to run your app over each time for each simulated (or real) device and capture each screenshot separately.
I have uploaded my app build to itunes connect from Xcode 5.1.1... I currently do not support iPhone 6. When I submit to review I get an error that I have to upload iPhone 6 sreenshots first.

Is there anyway I could just bypass iPhone 6 screenshots where as my app doesn't support iPhone 6 yet ?
My App was accepted with Photoshop Scaled 4-inch Screens. However, for now apple stopped requiring iPhone 6 screenshots.
You can't submit an app that does not support iPhone 6. So I guess it makes sense that iTunes Connect now makes it compulsory to include at least one screenshot for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus resolutions.
But unless you include launch images for the iPhone 6/6 Plus resolutions your app will run in scaled mode on the new iPhones. So as a quick workaround, I imagine that simply scaling your existing screenshots would give similar results to re-capturing them.
My app doesn't support 4-inch retina display (no iPhone 5 splash screen or Default-586h#2x.png in project), but ITC still requires screenshots for it. Is it mandatory even for non-iPhone 5 apps? Should I just use screenshots of my app in letterbox mode or is there a way to specify directly that my app doesn't support iPhone 5?
You could just fire up the simulator in 4inch mode and get the right sized screen shots there
