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。

通过xib .........很容易迁移iPhone5和iPhone4

UIViewController *viewController3;
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568)
{
    UIViewController *viewController3 = [[[mainscreenview alloc] initWithNibName:@"iphone5screen" bundle:nil] autorelease];               
}    
else
{
     UIViewController *viewController3 = [[[mainscreenview alloc] initWithNibName:@"iphone4screen" bundle:nil] autorelease];
}

According to me the best way of dealing with such problems and avoiding couple of condition required for checking the the height of device, is using the relative frame for views or any UI element which you are adding to you view for example: if you are adding some UI element which you want should at the bottom of view or just above tab bar then you should take the y origin with respect to your view's height or with respect to tab bar (if present) and we have auto resizing property as well. I hope this will work for you

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

我建议在你的应用程序中根据你的UI界面使用自动调整蒙版，这节省了很多麻烦，比为iPhone 4和5屏幕制作不同的UI更好。

有时候(对于预storyboard应用程序)，如果布局会有足够的不同，在viewController init中根据设备指定不同的xib是值得的(参见这个问题-你需要修改代码来处理iPhone 5)，因为如果你需要不同的图形，再多的自动调整蒙版也不会起作用。

-(id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil

    NSString *myNibName;
    if ([MyDeviceInfoUtility isiPhone5]) myNibName = @"MyNibIP5";
    else myNibName = @"MyNib";

    if ((self = [super initWithNibName:myNibName bundle:nibBundleOrNil])) {


...

这对于针对旧iOS版本的应用程序非常有用。
