getdisplayaspect() doesn't work on my new iPod Touch 5th Generation (I tried it in 1076 and 1082). The function returns .66666666666666666666666667 which is the aspect ratio of the older iPods/iPhones, the newer iPod Touch (5G) should be returning .5625 (9-width/16-height) but it isn't. Please fix in 108 devs. Thanks!

Edit: The reason I need getdisplayaspect() to work is so that I can determine if the user has a larger screened iPod and adjust the graphics/virtual resolution.

What device width and height get displayed when you use the GetDeviceWidth/Height commands? Try them and see if the ratio reported is the same as what you'd calculate from those two values.

But what are the values reported? And what do you expect it to report?

If the reported values agree with the reported display aspect ration, then it is working correctly.

If the reported values don't agree with what you expect, then we need to look at what you expect and why.

Dosn't the GetDisplayAspect() command return the current display aspect used by AppGameKit, not the one the device has?

I suspect that if you don't use the SetDisplayAspect or SetVirtualResolution commands, the GetDisplayAspect command will return the ratio the device is currently using.

As a matter of interest what does GetDeviceName() return on your 5th Gen iPod Touch?

See the post below I just created, which contains high quality icon and splash screen images for all Apple devices. You will need to add Default-568h@2x.png to the interpreter project (for the 4-inch Retina Launch Image) through the latest Xcode and rebuild the project in order for the player to become compatible with iPhone 5 and iPod Touch 5G. Otherwise it will return the resolution and aspect ratio of iPhone 4 as you found out.
