my iOS app is in low resolution (status bar included)

Question

I use an iPhone 6 and I launch Skype and my app. My app launches in low resolution (seems like non-retina) and Skype launches in high resolution - status bar resolution stays the same as in home menu of iOS, while the status bar in my app seems "bigger".

The one on the left (mine) is clearly lower resolution. What could be causing that ?

Did you optimize your app for iPhone6/6Plus? – tilo Feb 13 '15 at 13:17 — tilo, Feb 13 '15 at 13:17

Make sure you have Launch Screen or launch Images at correct resolution for iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, otherwise your application will run in 'display zoom' mode. (scaled up version from iPhone 5 or 4...)

See this SO question, you can either :

use a XIB that adapt to different screen resolutions
use XCode Asset catalog 'LaunchImage' image set, and fill the correct sizes

What if I don't have a launch screen/launching image ? – michal.ciurus Feb 13 '15 at 13:23
See my edit : a XIB LaunchScreen is enough (although it's not compatible with iOS 7) – Vinzzz Feb 13 '15 at 13:25
