Screen height for iPhone4 with 4-inch screen

Question

I wanna update my app, that is created using iOS5 SDK, to fit iPhone5's 4-inch screen. I simulate it with iPhone5 simulator. The following code tells us that the screen height is still 480.00 but not 548. What should I do to let my app to be taller but without the black gap in the bottom of the iPhone5's 4-inch screen? Any help is appreciated:)

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    float screenHeight = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height;
    NSLog(@"screenHeight :%f",screenHeight);
}

log:

2012-09-20 14:47:36.554 FF[61898:c07] screenHeight :480.000000

Hm, strange. I use this peace of code: CGRect frame = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds; NSLog(@"Width = %f", frame.size.width); NSLog(@"Height = %f", frame.size.height); and I get Width = 320 and Height = 568; Did you set in iOS Simulator that it uses iPhone Retina 4 Inch? — uerceg, Sep 20 '12 at 07:12

This is poorly documented by Apple, but it seems like you have to provide a 4-inch launch image to let iOS know that you are built to take advantage of the tall screen. Only then will you get to use the full screen.

do you know what's the name of the launch image for iPhone5? Default.png and Default@2x.png is sued. – lu yuan Sep 20 '12 at 07:17
Not offhand, but select the project to the left in Xcode and use the info editor to set the 4-inch image and it should create that image for you. – Jesper Sep 20 '12 at 07:19
