So I've been doing phonegap development for a while and have made a couple apps in the app store. I have made iphone and ipad apps and make them completely separate. I know apple allows for the submission of a single app that can be formatted for both devices, my question is how is this done with phonegap? I know I can edit the project settings and select ipad/iphone for the target device. But what do I do in my code to get it to work correctly?
Since it's html, I control sizing in html (and jquery). For example in my iphone app, I might have:
<img src="asdf.jpg" width="480">
And then that same ipad app would be:
<img src="asdf.jpg" width="1024">
It would be really awesome if I can just have two html files in my www folder, say, index.html and index-ipad.html, and then they share common img, css, and js folders. Is this possible?
I've checked the docs on phonegap extensively and couldn't find anything. Can somebody point me to a tutorial to do this? I really hate having multiple apps in the app store for the same content.
EDIT PER COMMENT BELOW
Maybe I wouldn't use the width attribute in html, maybe I would do this:
<img src="asdf_ipad.jpg">
and:
<img src="asdf_iphone.jpg">
where the two images have been sized for the two devices. In any event, I can handle the html/js/css, I just need to know how to implement a "switch" such that the ipad renders different from the iphone.
You can specify what file PhoneGap opens initially. Have a look at application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions from AppDelegate.m
Do something like this to open a different index page for iPad:
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] model] containsString:@"iPad"]) {
...
self.viewController = [[[MainViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
self.viewController.wwwFolderName = @"www-ipad";
self.viewController.startPage = @"index.html";
...
}
