title: IOS launch image sizes
body: <p>The <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iphone/conceptual/iphoneosprogrammingguide/App-RelatedResources/App-RelatedResources.html">ios App Programming Guide</a> states the following launch image sizes for iPad apps:</p>
  
  <p><code>1024x748px and 2048x1496px</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Yet in XCode, I am given the following sizes for ipad portrait launch images in the tooltip: </p>
  
  <p><code>1024x768px and 2048x1536px</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Which should I follow?</p>
  
  <p><strong>note</strong>:</p>
  
  <p>the <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/IconsImages/IconsImages.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH14-SW5">ios human interface guidelines</a> state:</p>
  
  <p><code>For iPad launch images, do not include the status bar region</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I am confused as to which dimensions I should be following.</p>
