How to remove iPhone 5 compatibility from Xcode project?

Question

Accidentally I allowed Xcode to add the iPhone 5 launch image for a massive app project where I don't want to adapt to iPhone 5 just yet.

I deleted the launch image but the simulator keeps launching it in enlarged iPhone 5 mode. I couldn't find a key in infoplist either. How can I completely remove iPhone 5 support?

Does the application have black bars on the top and bottom when you are using the iPhone 5 simulator? – Lilias

No, the application is shifted all the way up and there is a giant gap at the bottom. It is in iPhone 5 support mode even though I deleted the iPhone 5 launch image. – Bugeye

Answer 1

The following worked for me.

• Remove the file from Xcode.
• Delete the file from your Finder folder.
• Empty the trash.
• Clean your Xcode project.
• Delete App from device and simulator.

Answer 2

I think if you delete [email protected] from your project then it will remove the iPhone 5 full screen features.

No it will not, as stated in my question. – Bugeye

Answer 3

Remove armv7s in Build Setting Architecture and remove the Retina 4Inch Image in Summary of your Target Clean Build. Then Your Application will start support for 3.5 Inch screen only
