Join John Nastos for an in-depth discussion in this video Screenshot guidelines, part of Distributing iOS Applications Through the App Store.
- Besides the text information in your app's…App Store profile, there are a few options…for visual presentation of your app: its icon,…screenshots, and optionally an app preview video.…Let's talk about the screenshots first.…In terms of the technical requirements,…the first important factor is that you must upload…screenshots for each device type that your app supports.…If you app only supports the iPhone and iPod Touch,…for example, you won't need to upload iPad screenshots.…However, you will need to upload screenshots for…the different screen sizes within the iPhone/iPod family,…including 3.5-inch, 4-inch, and maybe even 4.7- and 5.5-inch…images if your app is optimized for the…6 and 6 Plus device sizes.…
With five screenshots for each of those sizes,…this can be a ton of images.…Later in the course, I'll talk about ways to automate part…of the process for making the screenshots to reduce the…time burden that all of the device sizes have introduced.…All of the images that you upload…have to be of the correct size and resolution.…
