Preparing an app to run on both 3.5'' and 4'' without autolayout

Question

I'm writing an app which has to have vertical sliders and is supposed to run on both iPhone4 and iPhone5. I had to turn off autolayout because otherwise vertical sliders wouldn't display properly.

Is there a way to create a layout which will look good on both 3.5'' and 4'' screen without autolayout?

When you disable auto-layout, the view system switches to using "auto-resize masks", which is auto-layout's predecessor.

You'll have to either learn how auto-layout works or how auto-resize masks work. There is plenty of documentation for both systems.

Of course it's possible to do that. You can either code your UI by yourself and use [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size as your screen size reference or work with Storyboards and use the AutoSizing (not AutoLayout) guides.
