Ok, the web view scaling problem was due to missing launch images at the new resolutions, which left us in a funky scaling mode.
I've added stub images (which need to be replaced to look good): https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/159524 With that in, web view rendered at native resolution and looks much nicer on the 6 Plus simulator. -- brion On Wed, Sep 10, 2014 at 11:39 AM, Brion Vibber <bvib...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > iPhone 6 simulator check results: > > * Layout is mostly ok, except the status bar in landscape mode seems > overlarge (?) > > iPhone 6 Plus simulator check results: > > * Layout roughly same as 6; looks good except that large status bar in > landscape > > * Web content appears to be rendered at 2x resolution and scaled up; it > appears slightly blurry in the simulator compared to text drawn directly on > native buttons and labels. > > It's possible that this is a limitation of UIWebView; there's a new WebKit > wrapper interface available on iOS 8 which may be more featureful... > > > Actually in both cases, the web view reports itself as having a width of > 320px and a devicePixelRatio of 2 (matching the 'classic' iPhone width). > Might have to do something to opt in to the new native sizes.
