IPhone app to iPad app?

You should look into creating a Universal app which basically has shared code and libraries for the iPhone and iPad but different view layers (views or XIBs).

You should look into creating a Universal app which basically has shared code and libraries for the iPhone and iPad but different view layers (views or XIBs). In that model you have different interfaces for both which you should. The paradigms are different - in iPhone you have small real estate so you have navigators that drill in and pop out.In iPad, you have more real estate so you have master/detail splitter views with pop-over controls.

As you pointed out, even the web views are different sizes at a minimum. If you start fresh you can create a universal app and get a feel for how it's laid out. File, new project, iOS, pick app type, next.

For device family select Universal. If you are converting, there's some resources out there. Here's some: useyourloaf.com/blog/2010/4/7/converting... How to convert iPhone app to universal in xcode4, if I previously converted, but deleted MainWindow-iPad?

Convert simple iPhone app to Universal app.

So by Universal app, you mean that the same app would run both on iPhone and iPad...Is the only difference the . Xib between the 2 devices? – testndtv Nov 30 at 4:29 Also while I see MainWindow-iPad.

Xib, I also have 2 other . Xib files with iPhone layout (ListViewController. Xib and DetailViewController.

Xib)....So will I need to manually recreate them for iPad? – testndtv Nov 30 at 4:31 Yes - that's the idea. That's also one of the key principles behind MVC where it's good to get almost all code out of the view layers.

If you can push most of your business logic does to the models/shared APIs, then recreating the thin view is not a big deal. Of course, if you have a view that's appropriate for the iPad or iPhone (resizes and handles size layout well), nothing says you can't launch that from an iPad or iPhone view. But, in the universal app, you have control over what gets shown in each device explicitly.

– bryanmac Nov 30 at 4:49 I am slightly confused reading the various links which you have referenced....My simple question is if I create a Universal app (single app working on iPod/iPhone/iPad), from my side, can that be completely handled by updating the XCode settings (Build/plist,etc) and NO CODE change would be needed at all...Is that correct? My view is simple (mainly UITableView, UIWebView and iAd) – testndtv Nov 30 at 6:26 Also the article on useyourloaf. Com/blog/2010/4/7/… seems to be very old (more than a year back)....So hope it is applicable even currently with XCode 4.. – testndtv Nov 30 at 6:29.

XCode and use its "convert to iPad using autoresize masks" option. Then I include the new separate XIBS in the project and do conditional loading (eg - use the UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() makro to load one xib or another.).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
