As near as I can determine the stencils in v13 are not helpful if one elects not to use the Toolbar.  For our purposes the toolbar isn't needed and so that becomes wasted real estate.  The custom sized stencil will do the trick, but can someone tell me what those dims should be for a 4 inch iPhone screen?

 

Thank you in advance.

I guess what I was really looking for was the dimension of of the bottom tool bar, not the screen size, though I appreciate the link to the Apple spec page.  The stencils are only helpful if you intend to keep the bottom tool bar in service, which is not appropriate for our solution.

 

It seems that in landscape view without tool bar 288 pix seems to get as much screen real estate as possible and still prevent screen "jump", when one is not using the bottom tool bar.

The bottom toolbar for FileMaker Go is 44 points tall, the status bar (top bar with time, reception, charge level, etc.) is 20 points, and the FileMaker window title bar (which for some reason is included in Get ( WindowContentHeight )) is 31 points.

 

For 4" iPhones, the portrait content area dimensions are 320 points wide by:

  • 385 with toolbar and status bar
  • 429 without toolbar and with status bar
  • 405 with the toolbar and without the status bar
  • 449 without the toolbar or status bar.

 

The landscape dimensions are 480 points wide by:

  • 255 with toolbar
  • 289 without toolbar

(FileMaker Go for iPhone always hides the iOS status bar in landscape orientation, regardless of the app preference setting.)

 

I put together a module that lets me preview iOS window sizes on the desktop that helps when I'm designing for FileMaker Go.
