Hello,
I'm new to the forum and to iOS development. I'm working on an app and I've gotten to the point where I want to start designing some of the images for backgrounds, buttons, etc...
My question is how big and how many images will I need to make in order to make a background image that will appear nearly the same across all iOS devices?
My app is in landscape. I pulled up a reference website iosres.com and it lists out all the resolutions for different devices.
It would appear that if I wanted to make a background image to fit all these categories I would need the following:
640 x 1136
750 x 1334
1242 x 2208
1536 x 2048
2048 x 2732
- 5 different images
This is the resolution for all devices except for the watch (which I'm not developing for).
I'm not sure how to implement this, and also how this plays with the 1x, 2x, and 3x image variations that we would use within xcode.
I have been searching for good tutorials on this, but I'm lost because everything seems to reference the 1x, 2x, 3x. I get what that stands for, but it doesn't seem to apply when it comes to the background image. Also say I want a button to look the same across all devices. I want it to be 0.3 x the width of devices an 0.2 x the height of the device. Can I use the 1x,2x,3x variations to cover this. It doesn't seem like it based off the 5 different resolutions that I listed above.
I'm new to this and I accept any kind of feedback that I can get. I really love the framework that Apple has with iOS development and I look forward to getting some apps on the play store at some point. Thanks for any help!!!
