Logology v12.0.0

This is the final version of the Logology project, and it corresponds with Chapter 12, Deployment.

Important changes

  • build.json has been added to support key signing. You'll need a .release.keystore file, as described in the chapter in order to build a release version of the app.

  • Gulp tasks have been updated to support build.json.

Apple App Store Distribution Notes

The version of the application in the Apple App Store has been modified in the following manner in order to support the iPad Pro and to properly fit on smaller devices:

  • Screenshots were processed with the Status Barred app, set to obscure the status bar.

  • General

    • Remove the Icon File property from the Logology-Info.plist file.

  • iOS 9 Multitasking Support

    • Requires the creation of a Launch Screen storyboard

      • File > New > iOS > User Interface > Launch Screen

      • The two labels created automatically were removed

      • An IMAGE VIEW was added to the view.

      • The image in /designs/iOS Launch Screen Variation 2-3072.png was added to the Xcode project's Resources/ directory.

      • the new IMAGE VIEW's properties were set to the following:

        • Image: iOS Launch Screen variation 2-3072.png

        • Mode: Aspect Fill

      • Added the following constraints to the IMAGE VIEW:

        • Margins (TRBL): 0 (View), -20 (View), 0 (Bottom Layout Guide), -20 (View)

        • Alignment: Horizontally and Vertically in container

    • Settings changed in the Logology Target:

      • Deployment Info, iPad

        • Ensure Requires Full Screen is UNCHECKED

        • Ensure all orientations are CHECKED

      • App Icons and Launch Images

        • Launch Screen File: Launch Screen

  • Small Screen Support

    • On older devices with smaller screens, when the soft keyboard is visible, landscape mode is very nearly unusable simply due to the limited real-estate. In order to avoid this problem, we explicitly disabled rotation for phones.

    • Settings changed in the Logology Target:

      • Deployment Info, iPhone

        • Ensure only Portrait orientation is CHECKED; all others should be UNCHECKED.

  • iPad Pro Support

    • In order to support the iPad Pro, a launch screen storyboard is required. We've already added this for multi-tasking support.

    • A new icon had to be added to the AppIcon section in the Resources/Images.xcassets catalog. The icon is 167 x 167, though it is referred to as 83.5pt. We had to resize our iTunes artwork icon to this new resolution and then drag and drop the image in the appropriate location.

  • iPhone 6(s)+ Support

    • For some reason, the small icon for @3x didn't copy over. We copied it manually to the AppIcon section in the Resources/Images.xcassets catalog.
