Thanks John, that's how I remeber it.  Just to copy/paste the relevent information directly (below).

This is also how our ADT helper tool works.

Providing Device-Specific Launch Images

Universal apps must provide launch images for both the iPhone and iPad idioms. Because iPhone apps require only one launch image (Default.png), whereas iPad apps typically require different images for portrait and landscape orientations, you can usually do without device-specific modifiers. However, if you create multiple launch images for each idiom, the names of device-specific image files are likely to collide. In that situation, you can append a device modifier to filenames to indicate that they are for a specific platform only. The following device modifiers are recognized for launch images in iOS 4.0 and later:

• ~ipad. The launch image should be loaded on iPad devices only.
• ~iphone. The launch image should be loaded on iPhone or iPod touch devices only.

Because device modifiers are not supported in iOS 3.2, the minimal set of launch images needed for a universal app (running in iOS 3.2 and later) would need to be named Default.png andDefault~iphone.png. In that case, the Default.png file would contain the iPad launch image (for all orientations) and the Default~iphone.png file would contain the iPhone version of the image. (To support high-resolution displays, you would also need to include a Default@2x~iphone.png launch image.)

Pea, did you get this working? I still can find the magic combination of settings. I either get the rotation animation or the momentary scaling. Can't get a clean start-up.

Pea, thanks. I'm feeling pretty confident is a new issue with 3.1. I've tried so many combinations today. Others have said that 3.0 doesn't do this.

It is definitely using the landscape image like you are describing. I added labels to my default files for testing so I can at least confirm that I'm seeing what you are seeing. Thanks again.

My best result so far is using this combination:

Aspect Ration: Auto

Full screen: Checked True

Auto orientation: Checked True

Rendering: CPU

Device: iPAD

Resolution: Standard

Included Defaults (I think just 2 are needed in this case):

Default-Portrait.png

Default-Landscape.png

And my XML file:

<initialWindow>

        <content>AppName.swf</content>

        <systemChrome>standard</systemChrome>

        <transparent>false</transparent>

        <visible>true</visible>

        <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>

        <renderMode>cpu</renderMode>

        <autoOrients>true</autoOrients>

    </initialWindow>

The result is that when held in either landscape orientation it starts up properly and goes into my app. When held vertically, it uses a portrait defaul and then rotates to the right landscape mode. I think this is pretty good.

Also in my first frame I have this:

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

import flash.display.StageOrientation;

stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING, orientationChangeListener);

var startOrientation:String = stage.orientation;

if (startOrientation == "default" || startOrientation == "upsideDown") {

          stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.ROTATED_RIGHT);

} else {

          stage.setOrientation(startOrientation);

}

function orientationChangeListener(e:StageOrientationEvent) {

          if (e.afterOrientation == "default" || e.afterOrientation == "upsideDown") {

                    e.preventDefault();

          }

}

Not sure why yours doesn't work, but 3.2 fixed mine.  Mine was working, then 3.1 broke it, and 3.2 fixed it again.

My app is iPad and landscape only, and I have Default-Landscape~ipad.png only

Hi Abhayjit,

Now we are facing exact same issue when we give path of iOS 6 sdk, which is required for AdSupport.framework used inside one of our native extension. We are using Flash Builder 4.6 with AIR 3.4, can you give some light if this is again a known issue? and if there is some work around available?

Thanks

Best Wishes,

Sanniv.

Hi Varun, thanks for prompt response...

I personally checked the Default images size here and found they are same as required, also now I included all required images also while packaging e.g. Landscape, Portrait, @2x, etc.

then also I can see 90 degree shift of Landscape images if app is opened in Landscape mode... its shrinked .

one point i can mention that if app is opened in Portrait Mode then the portrait images shows up fine (no 90 degree shift). So I guess we narrowed down the issue to Landscape images only which get 90 degree shift.

Can you test the same at your end, I followed following steps:

1. Add native extension which requires AdSupport.framework

2. Give path of iOS sdk while packaging like this:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform /Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.0.sdk

3. Add Default images as shown in screenshot.

4. Then try to run the app while iPad is in landscape mode.

Please let me know if anybody has any work around, we need to have AdSupport.framework in our app, its important

Best Wishes,

Sanniv.

sure, here are the answers:

1. Don't you face such issues when you don't use the AdSupport ane?

Yes I face this issue even if I removed AdSupport ane, since iOS 6 sdk path is still there

2. Don't you face such issues when you dont use platformsdk switch to iOS 6.    

No, once I removed iOS 6 sdk path, this issue is gone.

3. Have you tried building with AIR 3.5 that has inbuilt iOS 6 support and you wont have to use platformsdk switch while you will still  be able to use the ane?

OK, THIS DID THE TRICK . Now I am able to get IDFA from AdSupport.framework (iOS 6 specific) without my splash screen mess.

So Anyone who is trying to use iOS 6 specific framework, please upgrade AIR sdk to 3.5, splash screen messup will go off...

4. What are you using for autoOrients and aspectRatio values in app-xml?

a.  <autoOrients>true</autoOrients>

b. We didn't specify aspectRatio value in app-xml, its commented in it.
