Simulator running in scaling mode for iPhone 6 Plus?

My app starts and runs on the new iPhone 6 Plus (or iPhone 6) in the simulator, but elements that I know are supposed to be small on the big screen (i.e. hard coded CGRects) are large, as if the whole app had just been scaled up for the larger screen.

How can I get out of scaling mode in the simulator?

use Asset Catalog Creator from mac app store.

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/asset-catalog-creator-app/id809625456?mt=12

give it any image and it will generate all the correct launch images and icons in a xassets file.

This should stop the scaling of the whole app on iphone 6+

You must set correctly sized LaunchImages
For more information about LaunchImages and icons see this documentation

Adding a correctly sized LaunchImage seems to be enough (setting an incorrectly sized image won't).

Also adding the new "Launch Screen File" should work:

It looks like setting a launch screen file in the "App Icons and Launch Images" section of your project settings, or adding iOS 8 images to your launch image catalog, will enable "native" resolution.
