Not using images? Are you using images for your graphics/buttons, or is everything procedurally generated? My guess is that it won't matter at least at the moment, although procedurally generated stuff is definitely OK.
The default.png and variants (e.g. default-5...@2x.png) I mentioned are what LiveCode calls splash screens (they are not actually meant to be used as splash screens according to Apple's HIG - apologies for using the native iOS coding terminology) in the standalone application settings. I'm not sure what the standalone builder does if you don't set one for a particular resolution? I assume the app icon should also have a retina version for them to accept apps now. Beyond that if they think your app looks low-res on a retina display then they might reject it but I doubt there are any official criteria.

Mark... Thanks for the reply... I have already a couple of apps in the store that will run at the correct size, ie both on the iphone 4 and the iphone 5... I am not using any images... I am vague about whether we have to now only develop in a stack size of 640 x 960, for the iphone 4 or 640 x 1136 for the 5... or can I still lay it out at 320 x 480 as long as graphics and buttons are moved to appropriate places if the user should choose the run the app on an iphone 5 ? > Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2013 16:06:18 +0100 > From: m_p_wil...@yahoo.co.uk > Subject: Re: Successful recipe for LC iPhone apps... > To: use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > > I haven't submitted an app but here's my take on the official Apple stance > and what it means: > > All apps have to support the iPhone 5 resolution (or 4" Retina) and retina > displays since May 1st. > > The iPhone 5 thing is clear - your app must scale to that resolution and not > run in compatibility mode (with the black bars top and bottom).
