AIR for iOS: How can I distribute for only Retina Displays?

I am nearing completion of an app I have designed for iOS and tested on my iPhone 4. I bought a 2nd gen iPhone so I could test on both screen resolutions (320x480 and 640x960) before discovering AIR for iOS does not support very old iOS devices (I believe the rule is it must be iOS 4+).
My question is how is distribution handled if the app will not run on these older models? Wouldn't people with a 2nd gen iPhone still have access to an app that I publish via AIR for iOS and then be angry when it is not supported on their device? Has anyone run into this issue?

AIR 2.5+ requires iPhone 3GS+ to run. It's based on the CPU inside that
device and newer which includes a NEON SIMD coprocessor - a requirement
of newer AIR builds on all platforms (newer than PFI/AIR 2.0, which
shipped with Flash Pro CS5.0).
There should be a "resolution" drop down in the AIR for iOS Settings
dialog, if you updated your PFI in CS5.0 or upgraded to CS5.5. You can
select "High" to get iPhone retina display support. This will not enable
iPad 3 retina support though.

Edit: I didn't make it clear that the device requirements are set in your app, and enforced by the App Store - users on old devices will never see your AIR apps in their app store, and if they link into the App Store, they'll get an explaination of why they can't install the app (it'll be either the OpenGL ES 2.0 requirement, or the CPU requirement - it's similar to if you try to install an iPad only app on an iPhone). Android actually works the same way - old/cheap ARMv6 device users will not see your ARMv7 requiring app in their Google Play/Marketplace app.

  • Photos for iOS: How can i sort all of my albums automatically in alphabetical order

    Hey there,
    first off, why isn't there a a community for the new Photos app?
    Anyway, here is my problem:
    How can i sort my albums on the new Photos app on iOS?
    I think it's not possible at the moment.
    I am using the iCloud Photo library and uploadet all of my 15.000 photos from the last 15 years.
    And because of that, i now have many many albums on Photos now.
    Overall i love the new app and i love the iCloud Photo library, but i cannot sort my albums on the iOS app automatically in alphabetical order.
    I can sort albums manual, but who wants that, when you have so many of them???
    I have Photos on my Mac too and there i am able to do sort them in alphabetical order. But it is not adopted to iOS or the iCloud Web-App.
    Because of that, i have a complete picture chaos on my iPhone and when i am looking for this one pic in that one album it takes me forever to find it.
    So please Apple, fix this and we all can live happily ever after!
    Thank you!

    Moments in Photo are the new Events.  T
    here's a way to simulate events in Photos.
    When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder. To open the sidebar if it's not open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
    When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N.  Name it as desired.  It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
    When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window showing all of the albums.
    The downside to this simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title while viewed in the Folder in the main window or in the sidebar. But they can be sorted manually.
    Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

  • My credit limit is$700US per day .How   can I pay for an item costing $815?

    My credit limit is $700 per day. I have purchased an item for$815.How can I pay for it?

    If you tried to make a purchase from Apple.com, they offer you the opportunity to add a second credit card if you have one. If you do not have one, then you need to contact the back or institution that handles your credit card for them to approve the purchase.
    Just so you know, you are not addressing Apple here, we are users like you.

  • What is this hidden "feature" in mobile Safari for and how can I use it?

    OK, one day, like any geek would, I was in the car messing with my iPod touch. I was playing in Safari, typing in email addresses and such to get the exciting "WARNING - PHISHING SITE" screen. So I then tried typing "/" into the address bar, and when I hit "go", something interesting happened. The "/" changed to "file:///", and it tried to load it, but then popped up with an error message that said "This page could not be opened because it is a local file". Now I'm not new to the "file:///" thing, and I've used it to access folders using Chrome that Explorer wasn't showing for some reason. So, what if that tag used for? Obviously Apple has a use for it somehow since they included a little shortcut to get to it. I'll post some screenshots below so you can see what everything looks like:
    So if this happens to have any use at all, I'd like to know about it!
    I also asked this question over here:  http://lockergnome.net/questions/157444/what-is-this-hidden-feature-in-mobile-sa fari-for-and-how-can-i-use-it

    That is a shortcut for opening a file locally stored on the iPod. This is not really useful since iOS does not permit such access to its file sustem.

    You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
    If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
    -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
    Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine

  • So im trying to buy logic pro and just recently put enough money in gift cards on my account but every time i click buy app and go to billing info and then click ok it just shoots me to the first screen and did not charge for app how can i buy it ?

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • I have two iphones, different telcos, i am using the same apple id for both - how can i use the 10GB icloud free memory of my new iphone 5?

    I have two iphones, different telcos, i am using the same apple id for both - how can i use the 10GB icloud free memory of my new iphone 5?

    Thank you KiltedTim!
    YES, that is the free 5GB icloud memory for each apple ID. Can I not add the free 5Gb of my second Iphone to my original apple ID (5GB also) as I want to use one Apple ID name on both 2 Iphones? Is it necessary to have a different apple ID for the second Iphone to avail the free 5GB it carries with it?

  • How can I do for a row of a query be data provider for a variable?

    Hi friends, I have a problem !
    How can I do for a row of a query be data provider for a variable?
    I need that a value of variable be stored when the user select a row in a query. At the BPS we can do this configuring the variable selector in WIB, and in a WAB how I can do this ?
    Best regards,
    Gustavo Liberado

    In this case when I press the key to call other forms I need to wait for the response in the secondary form and then process the result.That is exactly what a "modal JDialog" (or JOptionPane) are used for.
    Try it. Create a short demo program. All you need is a JFrame with a single button to show the modal dialog. All you modal dialog needs is a single button to close the dialog. After you show the modal dialog add a System.out.println(...) statement in your code and you will see that it is not executed until the dialog is closed.
    Then once you understand the basics you add the code to your real program.
    If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
    Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.

  • How can I check for the existence of an XML file in Illustrator Javascript??

    I'm writing a Javascript to run at startup. I want to check for the existence of XML files and process them, if they are available. How can I check for their existence?

    Your first line just sets a variable to a string value… getFiles() is a method of Folder… so
    var InputXMLDir = Folder( "D:/Brackets/Create_Bracket_Graphics/Input/XML-n-Templates/" );
    Not a PC user so I can't remember if the colon is OK…? As you appear to know the file name why bother with a folder get files anyhow you could just check if the file exists then do some thing…
    alert( File( "D:/Brackets/Create_Bracket_Graphics/Input/XML-n-Templates/brackets_men_web.xml" ).exists );

  • HT4009 I purchased hipstamatic the other day due to an ad I read.  When I tried to use it, it didn't meet my expectations. I'm not going to use it at all. How can I apply for a refund please?  Thank you!

    I purchased hipstamatic app the other day. When I tried to use it, it didn't meet the expected features it advertised. How can I ask for a refund?

    If it's not workins as described in the store then you can try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
