  • Take advantage of the larger 4-inch Retina display.

    The Retina display on iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation) gives you 18 percent more pixels to work with. When you optimize your app to take advantage of the larger screen, be sure to include a new launch image that is 640 x 1136 pixels.

Build, Test, and Submit

  • Test and debug for iOS 6 compatibility.

    Existing apps in the App Store and those built using iOS 5 SDK should already run on iOS 6 without modification. However, you should test your existing apps running on iOS 6 to be certain there are no compatibility issues. If your app supports iPhone 5 or iPod touch (5th generation), you'll need to include a new launch image (640 x 1136) that is compatible with the 4-inch Retina display. iOS 6 works with iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, the new iPad, iPad 2, and iPod touch (4th and 5th generation).

  • Review and follow guidelines.

    All apps submitted to the App Store are reviewed based on a set of technical, content, and design criteria. Review and follow these updated guidelines before submitting your app for review.

  • Submit to the App Store.

    Use Xcode 4.5 with iOS 6 SDK to compile, validate, and submit release versions of your iOS 6 apps to iTunes Connect. For details on how to submit your app using Xcode, review the Tools Workflow Guide for iOS and iTunes Connect Developer Guide.

    If your app supports iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation), you are required to submit at least one screenshot for the 4-inch Retina display in each language that your app supports.
