Answer 1

With the iPad 3, you also simply need to name your retina images [email protected]. It needs to be exactly two times the resolution of the corresponding foo.png. So, say foo.png is 10x10, then your [email protected] needs to be 20x20.

You can also make version specifically for iPhone/iPod or iPad and iOS will automatically chose the correct version. For this, you can use the ~iphone and ~ipad modifiers:

• foo.png for all devices with non-retina display
• foo~iphone.png specifically for iPhone/iPod non-retina
• foo~ipad.png specifically for iPad non-retina
• [email protected] for all devices with retina display
• foo@2x~iphone.png specifically for iPhone/iPad retina
• foo@2x~ipad.png specifically for iPad retina

You can mix them in any combination, as long as there's always a version for all your supported devices (if you're doing an iPad-only app there's no need to provide images for iPhone, of course). So it's OK to provide for example foo~iphone.png, foo~ipad.png and then [email protected].

What about with the new iPhone graphics size... where does it fit into all this? – Koeninger

Which new graphic size? Do you mean the iPhone 5? It does not have a new "modifier" for the images (except for the splash screen which must be named [email protected]). If you need different images on iPhone 5, you must do this manually in your code yourself at the moment. – Barringer

So the iphone 5 would probably use the @2x~iphone images unless you manually check if its iphone 5 and force a different image? – Koeninger

The iPhone 5 will try to load images in the following order: foo@2x~iphone, foo@2x, foo~iphone, foo. Yes, if you need to have a different image on iPhone 5 you will have to manually check whether you're on an iPhone 5 and load a different image (bar*). – Barringer

Answer 2

I think it would be "image~ipad" & "image@2x~ipad" for iPad with Retina Display if you are writing a Universal app (since "image" & "image@2x" are for iPhone/iPod images).

Otherwise I guess "image" & "image@2x" is OK.
