We often have to update our application with the necessary high-resolution images needed for the new iPad (iPad 3 or iPad 4). Fortunately, the new iPad Mini has maintained the same resolution as the first iPad is 1024 × 768 pixels.
Since it is not always easy to find the documents ufficali Apple, in this article I have again gathered all the information we need to update the icons, the intro, and so on.

You may think that video composition should be limited to applications like iMovie or Vimeo so you can consider this subject, at least from the point of view of the developer, to be limited to a niche of video experts. Instead it can be extended to a broader range of applications, not essentially limited to practical video editing. In this blog I will provide an overview of the AV Foundation framework applied on a practical example.

iPhone5 has a larger screen than its predecessors. Developers iOS6 must support resolutions of 640 x 1136 px instead of 640 x 960 px pf iPhone4.

Normally developers do not have Photoshop and aren’t design guru and,  in general,  certainly hate to redo their work to meet the needs of the expert designers.
So we decided to report a infographic guide designed for designers who want to make App for IOS and help send the correct files for the developer.

Subscriptions are a rather new concept. They have been initially introduced with iOS 4 but their support has been greatly improved by Apple after a long discussion taken with publishers in order to build a business model acceptable for everybody. In particular the subscription concept has been enlarged by adding auto-renewable subscriptions and with the introduction of Newsstand – and its concept of issues auto-download – also free subcriptions have been added.

HTML(5) Approach
The final technique is something that is emerging now, especially thanks to the great improvements in term of stability and speed introduced by the latest version of iOS for the in-app web views. A couple of good examples of this approach are the Ars Technica app and the Bloomberg Businessweek+ magazine.

Pages Pre-Rendered by images
This technique is heavily used inside the highly interactive magazines published using the Adobe Digital Solutions environment: well known examples are the Condé Nast magazines (Wired is one of the most famous examples).
The way these magazines are implemented starts with the well known suite of Adobe Digital Publishing tools, In Design in primis. These tools are used by many publishers around the world and the latest versions offer the pos sibility to export the project, other than in the ubiquitous pdf format, in a package suited for distribution through iPad.
