How to add support for 10.5 inch iPad Pro

Question

I\'ve just downloaded the latest Xcode 8.3.3 update from the MAS. I was wondering how to add support for the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro?

Answer 1

The workaround for now seems to be to go back to using individual launch images rather than a launch screen storyboard.

(This thread on Twitter had the answer. Also I took a look at the Info.plist file for Linea, and that seems to be exactly how they've achieved it).

Answer 2

I believe that the auto-layout launch screen story board should be all that is needed. However, I have found that if I build an application under Xcode 8.3.3, the UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds returns 736 x 1024. If I build the same application under Xcode 9 and the iOS 11 SDK beta, UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds returns 834 x 1112.

UPDATE:
As others have mentioned, when an app is built with Xcode 8.3.3/iOS 10.3 and is running on the iPad Pro 10.5 simulator, the UIRequiresFullScreen key in the app info.list determines whether or not the app is scaled to 768 x 1024. If UIRequiresFullScreen = YES, the app is scaled. If UIRequiresFullScreen = NO, the app is full resolution (834 x 1112).
However, if the app is built with Xcode 9/iOS 11 beta 1, it always runs at the full native resolution regardless of the UIRequiresFullScreen key setting. Some developers believe that this is intentional behavior and not a bug. Others believe it is simply an artifact of running the iOS 10 app under the iOS 11 simulator. We probably won't know for sure until developers receive the new hardware.
