Download and install latest version of Xcode. Set a Launch Screen File for your app (in the general tab of your target settings). This is how you get to use the full size of any screen, including iPad split view sizes in iOS 9. Test your app, and hopefully do nothing else, since everything should work magically if you had set auto resizing masks properly, or used Auto Layout. If you didn't, adjust your view layouts, preferably with Auto Layout. If there is something you have to do for the larger screens specifically, then it looks like you have to check height of [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds] as there seems to be no specific API for that. As of iOS 8 there are also size classes that abstract screen sizes into regular or compact vertically and horizontally and are recommended way to adapt your UI.

这是一个真正的通用代码，你可以创建3个不同的故事板:

设置你的项目通用模式，用iPhone5 storyboard设置你的主故事iPhone，用ipad target storyboard设置ipad main，现在为iPhone添加新的storyboard target，并修改iPhone 4s或更少的分辨率，现在实现你的appdelegate。m

iPhone4/4s (3/ 3g是一样的)一个iPhone5，并使项目通用，与一个新的Storyboard目标为iPad，现在在AppDelegate。在didFinishLaunching下添加以下代码:

    if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone){
        UIStoryboard *storyBoard;

        CGSize result = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size;
        CGFloat scale = [UIScreen mainScreen].scale;
        result = CGSizeMake(result.width *scale, result.height *scale);

//----------------HERE WE SETUP FOR IPHONE4/4s/iPod----------------------

        if(result.height == 960){
            storyBoard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"iPhone4_Storyboard" bundle:nil];
            UIViewController *initViewController = [storyBoard instantiateInitialViewController];
            [self.window setRootViewController:initViewController];
        }

//----------------HERE WE SETUP FOR IPHONE3/3s/iPod----------------------

        if(result.height == 480){
            storyBoard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"iPhone4_Storyboard" bundle:nil];
            UIViewController *initViewController = [storyBoard instantiateInitialViewController];
            [self.window setRootViewController:initViewController];
        }
    }

        return YES;
 }

所以你已经为iPhone 3/ 3g /4/4s/5所有一代的iPod和所有类型的iPad创建了一个通用应用程序

记住将所有IMG与myImage.png和myImage@2x.png集成

你可以使用自动布局功能，使用iPhone 5屏幕分辨率创建设计，它适用于4英寸和3.5英寸设备，但在这种情况下，你应该有足够的布局管理器知识。

如果你需要将一个已经存在的应用程序转换为通用，你需要选择相应的xib文件->show Utilities-> show Size inspector。

在大小检查器中，你可以看到自动调整大小，通过使用这个工具你可以转换到现有的iOS应用程序。

在constants.h文件中，你可以添加以下定义语句:

 #define IS_IPAD UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad 
 #define IS_IPHONE UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone
 #define IS_WIDESCREEN (fabs((double)[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height - (double)568) < DBL_EPSILON) 
 #define IS_IPHONE_5 (!IS_IPAD && IS_WIDESCREEN)

I never faced such an issue with any device as I've had one codebase for all, without any hardcoded values. What I do is to have the maximum sized image as resource instead of one for each device. For example, I would have one for retina display and show it as aspect fit so it will be views as is on every device. Coming to deciding the frame of button, for instance, at run time. For this I use the % value of the patent view, example , if I want the width to be half of parent view take 50 % of parent and same applies for height and center.

有了这个，我甚至不需要xib。
