Best way to create Default.png image for iPhone app

Tags:

Originally I though I'll just take a screenshot of my app on the iPhone then tweak it in Photoshop.

The images should be 480 x 320 according to Apple doc, and the dimensions of my screenshot are 480 x 320. But, the screenshot contains notification area (where reception bars, battery life, etc. are displayed)

So, if I chop that part off my image will be a bit shorter and not 480px high.

What do I do? Submit a shorter image? Stretch it up so it's 480px but without the notification bar? Submit it with the notification bar in the image?

You can leave the notification area in the screenshot. The iPhone will draw the real notification bar over it.

iOS 7 update: the iOS 7 Transition Guide explicitly requires this:

Update the launch image to include the status bar area if it doesn’t already do so.
