The Android operating system has the ability to scale applications up and down automatically to adapt to any format.
Apple, however, requires developers to bring their applications to seamlessly interface device, hence the application itself does not always serve for iPhone and iPad and see distinctive as HD when it is for the iPad. It is true that the iPhone can run 2x iPhone apps, but Apple does not want to worsen the user experience by allowing applications using narrow IOS source code.
However, it seems that IOS 6 this aspect could be improved, allowing developers to build interfaces able to adapt to different screen resolutions.
The image that dominates the entrance shows the new features of SDK iOS6, and among them we can see (marked in red) a call "Auto Layout".
This is not new. When he left OS X Lion, Apple introduced a new way of building interfaces specifying the relative position of the various elements of the interface.
It seems that come with IOS Auto Layout 6 and life much easier for developers, which would allow developers to create a series of constraints that define how they should show the interface elements.
This approach includes good scaling up and down which makes Android and good to have different code for each type of screen (Retina, iPhone, iPad), as we currently have in IOS.
Google disclaims all responsibility for Android developers, resulting in sometimes the results are not too good aesthetically, something that Tim Cook said at the launch of new iPhone .
Tim It showed some slides that were compared as some applications on Android and iPhone OS, showing the Twitter app for Android and as lost screen space, giving a bad user experience.
With Auto Layout I hope Apple provides developers with a tool that facilitates the creation of applications that fit any screen size, without having to be so aware of how it will use in future Apple hardware.
If Apple wants to avoid a possible fragmentation of IOS, this feature is absolutely necessary. Besides, we all know that approach, possibly with a screen of very different sizes, such as the rumored iPhone 5 with bigger screen, Apple TV, and so on.
Although necessary, interestingly a study of a hundred developers attending WWDC, reveals that most are not overly concerned about the possible change screen size of the devices.
As much as I do not worry, this will make things easier for any application look perfect in any IOS devices, regardless of the size of the screen.
