iOS 3.5 to 4 or iphone 4 to 5 .. got to make a living.

[IDMah]

Hahaa get it.. ??? ok never mind..

So I have an app that was iphone 4 or 3.5 only and it worked on the iphone 5 with boarder.. I updated it to be full frame and iphone 5 aware if you install it new it recognizes it's on a iphone 5 and everything is fine.

But if it's a the old version updated. This code doesn't seem to be working..

#define IS_IPHONE5 (([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height-568)?NO:YES)

#define SCALEYFOR5 1.19 ; //1.18333333
#define SCALEYFOR35 1.0;
#define SCALEXFOR5 1;
#define SCALEXFOR35 1;


// else where resize buttons  //
if (IS_IPHONE5) {
    btFrame.origin.y = btFrame.origin.y * (scaleYPhone+0.05); // 0.04
    }else{
        btFrame.origin.y = btFrame.origin.y * scaleYPhone;
    }
    moveShuf.frame = btFrame;
    CGRect btFrameR = moveRest.frame;
    btFrameR.origin.x = btFrameR.origin.x * scaleXPhone;
    if (IS_IPHONE5) {
        btFrameR.origin.y = btFrameR.origin.y * (scaleYPhone+0.02); // 0.04
    }else{
        btFrameR.origin.y = btFrameR.origin.y * scaleYPhone;
    }

    moveRest.frame = btFrameR;
 // and other stuff that resizes it.
if (IS_IPHONE5) {
    btFrame.origin.y = btFrame.origin.y * (scaleYPhone+0.05); // 0.04
    }else{
        btFrame.origin.y = btFrame.origin.y * scaleYPhone;
    }

}

but it doesn't seem to be reading correctly. because size seems off.
Do I have to check actual models

***also any idea how to test this in the simulate upgrades, because the simulator and Xcode always seems to compile it as a new app. Which works fine

what it should look like.

What it does

*** The hint actually is that although both images came from a iphone 5 they are different resolutions.
below is 496 × 880 pixels well above is 640 × 1136 pixels wacky.. I would think the iphone5 would just stretch the image not change screen resolutions.

thinking this might be the answer. #1

#define IS_IPAD (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
#define IS_IPHONE (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
#define IS_IPHONE_5 (IS_IPHONE && [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568.0)
#define IS_RETINA ([[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] == 2.0)

thanks for any suggestions.

Is this a bad idea? Apple suggest not to use this why?

#import <sys/utsname.h>
#define IS_IPHONE5 ((([deviceName() rangeOfString:@"iPhone5,"].location != NSNotFound)||([deviceName() rangeOfString:@"iPhone6,"].location != NSNotFound))?NO:YES)

NSString* deviceName()
{
    struct utsname systemInformation;
    uname(&systemInformation);
    NSString *result = [NSString stringWithCString:systemInformation.machine
                                          encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"Device is a:%@",result);
    return result;
}

// When I put this same code in another object it gives me a duplicate compile error  !!   ?Hun? //  
* not using above because previous answer #! code works without issue and is Apple sanctioned... hahah!!! 

** Think the problem was that I initialize / save the the screen and never update it later.. So bad. I think best practices for this sort of thing is to dynamically calculate these values.. fingers crossed.
