I am trying to test an app in the simulator (3.5 retina iPhone) and am running into a bit of an annoyance. I can't see the bottom 10th of the screen...
I have tried the Cmd+3 shortcut but unfortunately that part of the screen is still missing. For example, the card should be in the middle of the screen below:
For this app, I have some components at the bottom of the screen that I can't see in the simulator. For now, I'm having to move the components further up the screen so that I can test them but it isn't ideal.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
I think you have designed your view for the 4 inch display, and have not set up autolayout/springs and struts to layout your view correctly.

I've started using Xcode auto layout for my projects.
Auto-layout works perfectly when I'm testing on ios8 devices, it the view scales as needed.
However, things get a little crazy with ios7.
When I test my app on an ios7 iPhone 5 simulator, the app doesn't scale-up to the larger screen,
but only shows the 3.5 inch view, leaving black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.
I am using a tableView controller.
How do I scale the tableViewController up so that it fits on a larger screen in ios7?
(Like I've said, my app fits perfectly in ios8, on all screen sizes, but not in ios7.
Also, it scales fine on an ios7 ipad.)
thanks.
The Xcode (6) IDE should give a warning about this, that may not be so clear:
"Applications using Launch Screen Files and targetting iOS 7.1 and earlier
need to also include a Launch Image in an Asset Catalog."
This means you need to have the proper Launch-Images for the "Retina 4" screen,
which is 640 × 1136 pixels, and it should be configured in the assets-catalog,
just like your Application-Icons ("AppIcon"), but under "LaunchImage" there.
Once you add this 4-inch-compatible Launch-Image to your application,
iOS-7 will assume you are properly supporting the "Retina 4" screen,
and will launch the application in 4-inch mode.
I have just installed Xcode 4.6.3 to test my OpenGL game (which was developed in Xcode 3) on Retina 4" simulator, and I have got two black bars on the screen's top and bottom.
I have added a Default-568h#2x.png image file with dimension of 640x1136 to my project, when I am testing on the iphone simulator, the Default image is displayed correctly with no bars at all, but once the game starts, the top bar is moved to the bottom of the screen, now I have a sum of two bars at the bottom and no bar at all at the top.
I have done some google search but it seems no one had the same problem before, I am getting this result on the iPhone simulator and have got no iphone5 to confirm this would happen in real device...
I would really appreciate someone could help on this.
Thank you.
I was having a similar problem and the solution I found was to stop using the asset catalog for the Launch Images. That allowed it to revert to using the properly named files it was looking for.
I have an iOS app that was working fine. Displaying fine, operating fine. When I uninstalled it and gave it a fresh install, about an half an inch on both the top and bottom of the screen is black. It appears to be thinking it's an older iPhone and trying to fit it into a smaller screen. I don't recall changing anything related to this. Any ideas what it might be?
You are testing this in iPhone5 (4 inch size device) than you are finding box layout (black margin top bottom ) hope i am assuming right than
please check your splash image from iPhone5 that is 640x1136 it is not load right now or it would be missing in your application.
add splash screen for 4 size device it will work.
If you are using image-assets for splash screen than add this image in R4
I have been designing a app on xcode over the past week but I have encountered a problem. When I run the app on iPhone simulators (3.5 inch and 4 inch) my game is scrollable when it shouldn't be. I want my app to be displayed on full screen of iPhone with no scrolling.
I have not changed any of the settings in storyboard so I am starting to think maybe its a problem with the simulator?
Anyone have any ideas of what's wrong and how I could correct this? Any help would be appreciated
The question is pretty vague (how are you "designing" the game? With SpriteKit? UIKit?) but here is some reading material that should get you pointed in the right direction:
- AutoLayout
- Autosizing
I think this is just an issue with the simulator. It seems like if the resolution of the screen is below a certain amount, it shrinks the simulator window to fit, and then you have to scroll around inside the simulator to see the whole VIEW. I noticed this issue because my Macbook has a small screen. But when running on an actual device, it takes up the whole screen as it should. You could try using different simulated devices with smaller screens to see if it still does it.
My ios app does not fit on iphone 5 screen. When I run the app, I can see blank space at the top and bottom of the screen. I have made the app compatible for both iphone sizes. But Since I have updated to the latest xcode, I am facing this issue. See screen shot. Can any one please help?
You probably may not have set your Default-568h image.
On the simulator make sure you have set to iPhone (Retina 4-inch).
You can do this by going simulator menu at the top go to Hardware->Device->iPhone (Retina 4-inch) that will change the phone simulator to the iPhone 5 version.

Try setting AutoresizingMask to your container views instead of assigning appFrame.
I have faced the same problem while moving to iOS 7.
Solution comes with AutoresizingMask. iOS 7 has full Screen layout for ViewControllers.
