What Simulator devices are currently needed to make screenshots for Apple App Store?

Question

I ask this question as instead of getting to this information quickly I had to search for it in a more complicated manner.

So, what Simulator devices are needed to make screenshots for all resolutions that are now required to publish or update an application in the App Store?

I believe this can be helpful to a lot of developers as the error message while uploading images is not very helpful.

Answer 1

As of April 2022:

• For iPhone 6.5" Display, use iPhone 13 Pro Max
• For iPhone 5.5" Display, use iPhone 8 Plus
• For iPad Pro (3rd Gen) 12.9" Display, use iPad Pro (12.9-inch)
• For iPad Pro (2nd Gen) 12.9" Display, use iPad Pro (12.9-inch)

(So, for the iPads, you only need one device.)

Here's how it looks like in practice.

Have fun!

So now in 2019 you need to supply images for 4 devices, for iPhone 6.5 screen you need iPhone XS max simulator and for iPhone 5.5 you need a iPhone 8 Plus simulator. Then you need also iPad Pro second as well as third generation but that is quite obvious.

iPhone app

• iPhone 6.5-inch (iPhone XS Max / XR): 1242 x 2688 px or 2688 x 1242 px
• iPhone 5.5-inch (iPhone 6/6s/7/8 Plus): 1242 x 2208 px or 2208 x 1242 px

iPad app

• iPad 12.9-inch (iPad Pro 3rd Gen.): 2048 x 2732 px or 2732 x 2048 px
• iPad 12.9-inch (iPad Pro 2nd Gen.): 2048 x 2732 px or 2732 x 2048 px

I was able to upload the 2nd Gen. "old" screenshots to the newer 3rd Gen. screenshots and they go consistently through review, without any issues.

Universal app

• iPhone 6.5-inch (iPhone XS Max / XR): 1242 x 2688 px or 2688 x 1242 px
• iPhone 5.5-inch (iPhone 6/6s/7/8 Plus): 1242 x 2208 px or 2208 x 1242 px
• iPad 12.9-inch (iPad Pro 3rd Gen.): 2048 x 2732 px or 2732 x 2048 px
• iPad 12.9-inch (iPad Pro 2nd Gen.): 2048 x 2732 px or 2732 x 2048 px

Answer 4

Use iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (4th generation) for the iPad screenshots. Should work for both
