In my main Swift iOS app I see in Xcode the preview pane and it lets me add various iPhone and iPad devices successfully and view the selected UI View Controller in my app storyboard.
In my Today extension preview I can only add iPhone devices, not the iPad.
Any ideas?
Works fine for the main app:
Devices appear fine in simulator:
Universal app:

My app is supposed to run only on Iphone but apple is testing it on Ipad too. Apparently, the apps can run in Iphone mode on Ipads. How do I know which Ipad will run which Iphone mode (ex: ipad mini air2 = iphone 5 view settings in iphone mode?)?
How can I change the size of my UI based on changing aspect ratio programmatically ? (My views are created through code).
The iPad Pro runs an iPhone 6. The iPad 2 and Air 2 run an iPhone 4s.
I don't know if there's official documentation for this, but what I did is create a sample app and set the Devices to iPhone only. Then I added
print(self.view.frame.size) //Swift
NSLog(#"width = %f, height = %f", self.view.frame.size.width,
self.view.frame.size.height); //Obj-C
in the default ViewController. This will print the screen size of the view only, and not the entire iPad's screen. I then compared the printed value to the printed value of the same app run in iPhone 6/4s. You can try it too.
In terms of changing the size of your UI to fit different screen sizes, your best bet is probably AutoLayout. There are many (free, open source) frameworks available that make creating AutoLayout constraints programatically much simpler.
A few are Stevia, Cartography, SnapKit (Swift) / Masonry (Obj-C), or PureLayout.
As you said your app is supposed to run on iPhone only, then do the following process.
Select your project target in Xcode and goto General in which there is one section Deployment Info
Change the Devices to iPhone from dropdown
this will open app on iPhone only.
I created a brand new Xcode project using the master detail template. Just running the project off the bat my Xcode simulator runs all iPad devices in the below format.
It looks like an iPhone app is being ran on an iPad. In the bottom right corner there is a 1x button. When clicked it turns into a 2x button.
I've reset all device and settings in the simulator and changed the project to run on on other iPad devices but still having the issue. Again this is an out of the box project with no adjustments made. Ive attached a screenshot of what it looks like.
Did you check this setting in the "general" tab in your project build settings is set to iPad instead of iPhone?
In iPad i am using split view controller (one of my existing apps). Using Xcode 6 beta: If I launch the iPad simulator(s) with the device in portrait orientation it only shows the detail view and not the master view as well (and no "master" back button). If I rotate then to landscape all appears fine, rotate back to portrait and the "master"back button appears and can then access the master table view. With previous versions of Xcode the split view launches in portrait view.
I also noticed this, it seems to be a bug in Xcode 6 and iOS Simulator 8. You can send a bug report to Apple here
I had the same issue when running my app on the iOS8 simulator using xCode6-beta2. However, when I ran the app on my iOS7 device, the master view title showed up correctly. Sounds like an iOS8 issue.
Using Xcode 5, I've created a new xib that I want to use for both the iPad and iPhone versions of my app. Is there a way I can use the Assistant to preview the layout for both devices?
I created the xib file using New File > User Interface > View but it forces me to choose either iPad or iPhone. I don't see the option for "Universal"
A few days back I upgraded to Xcode 4.3.2 by downloading from the developer's portal and running the installation files. Since then, I am able to test apps on my devices and am also able to test them on the iOS simulator for iPhone without issues. However, the iPad simulator is not working well. A screenshot is attached.
The home button doesn't appear.
The status bar doesn't appear.
The simulator appears like a window with minimize and maximize icons (only the maximize icon is enabled) and also has a title with the version no.
Can anyone please advise, a screenshot of the simulator is present at the below location.

The Skins are missing from the iPad simulator, a solution is using the keyboard shortcuts, Cmd+Shift+H for Home, Cmd+1 / 2 / 3 to resize the window to fit on your screen to avoid scrollbars and such.
