Unbelievable - I have one developer who keeps responding to my complaint emails, but telling me that they dont intend to change these black bars, because they actually "like" them!
Is there any document from apple where they outline how exactly an app has to look like for the ipad 11" ? I only found this one, and it's not clear. https://developer.apple.com/design/...ines/ios/visual-design/adaptivity-and-layout/

I sent this pic to the developer and they are asking me what's my problem, claiming that it looks nice... omg View attachment 808892
Good luck to them in making this claim to Apple after the March deadline. If you can replace them with another app, that’s probably the way to go. Either way, you can leave them a negative review.

Are we sure YouTube hasn’t been updated? Width wise, it looks like it has, but the top & bottom edges have small black areas eh.

So is it just a poor update?

They made it auto-width but didn’t update for Liquid Retina (which is what would get rid of the bars).

Scanbot and Prizmo Go say in their latest release notes that they support the new resolutions of the new IPP.

Duolingo is now updated.

I’ve been submitting feedback to companies that haven’t updated. It’s amazing how hard some companies make it to submit feedback (Looking at you, DirectvNOW/ATT). If they don’t have a proper feedback channel or mechanism, they’re getting public tweets from me about the issue.

Not a huge app but Flipp (used for viewing weekly sale ads) was updated today.

I’ve tweeted repeatedly at DTV Now via Twitter. I get the same run around response each and every time. It’s annoying.

They haven’t responded to me at all. Maybe they’ve given up, LOL.

I tweeted at them last night since I noticed that Playstation Vue app was updated for the new iPad screens. Got nothing back this time around, haha.

Yeah, I don’t think they like that I pointed out Netflix and Hulu already updated.

That means two of their direct competitors (Hulu PlaystationVue) are now updated and they aren’t. Has Sling updated yet? They’re the only real direct competitor left who might not have.

Facebook just updated the app for the 1st and 2nd gen 12.9“ iPP (fonts and UI are much smaller now, not extrapolated) but no support for the new ones...
So maybe we will see the 2018-iPP support already in 2020 ;)

Adobe Acrobat is updated.

Flickr has been recently updated and I'm absolutely satisfied with the app, I like it, if you use it, then you are sure to know about the update
I’m still seeing black borders on all sides. I even re-downloaded. Kinda bummed about that.

This is taking longer than I expected. I knew older games wouldn't be updated but this is sad.

It was probably a bad idea by Apple from the start. Who asked for a minimum screen increase that changes the aspect ratio? Was it really a demand from the market?
