How to Get Black Borders in iPhone 5

When I first updated Xcode and tested my app in the iPhone 5 simulator, the app ran perfectly with black borders at the top and bottom. Then, something popped up asking if I wanted Xcode to auto-resize the app so that it would fit the entire screen. I clicked yes, and now everything is messed up. Is there a way to get the borders back? I want to submit an update for my app as soon as possible. Thank you!

have u used any local git or maintained the code on some repositories... – Mammalogy 20/9, 2012 at 17:50

If you do this, Apple will not accept your app. – Homogony 6/6, 2013 at 13:6

@Homogony it's only applicable if the app is submitted AFTER May 1st (2013). If it was already on the App Store, then black bars are automaticaly added – Lodgment 24/6, 2013 at 10:11

Remove the file [email protected] from your project.

I tried that, and it didn't work. I think xcode does it automatically but there must be a setting to prevent that from happening – Froehlich 20/9, 2012 at 17:54

The answer is definitely right. Make sure you do a Clean Build Folder. And maybe delete the app from the simulator and run again. – Sg 20/9, 2012 at 17:58

If you go in the simulator and click reset content and settings, it fixes the problem – Froehlich 20/9, 2012 at 18:2

@BoltClock: it asks you if you want Xcode to add it. If you don't, you'll get the black bars. If you do, the app will take up the entire screen without bars. – Donegan 20/9, 2012 at 18:12

@Scott: Does it just add a blank image with those dimensions, or does it base it off the original [email protected]? (I haven't had the opportunity to try it myself yet.) – Apoplectic 20/9, 2012 at 18:13

@BoltClock: It's a solid black image. – Donegan 20/9, 2012 at 18:15

4 steps:

Uncheck the Target Membership of the [email protected] file in the File Inspector pane (or just remove the file).
Do an (Option key) Clean Build Folder on the target, and a regular Clean as well.
Delete the app from the Simulator.
Rebuild the app and Run it.

Please be aware that as of May 1 Apple requires the [email protected] image in your application for submission to the App Store. Without that image you will receive an invalid binary rejection.

A clean build folder can be tricky to find. Normaly you just see under Project > Clean . BUT when you keep your ALTkey pressed it will change into Clean Build Folder!
