How To Prepare Image Assets in iOS supporting both iPads and iPhones?

I usually do not care much about my assets even if I support the iPads in my project. As long as the imageView for the background of the app is set to Aspect Fill.

Also, here are some links I've found, but not so related to this question.

  1. OLD Question and old answers: How to support both iPad and iPhone retina graphics in universal apps

  2. Cool question and cool answers, however, question and answers focus merely in iPhones: iOS: Preparing background images for applications

Going back to the question, if I have an Adobe XD file or Sketch, or Photoshop or whatever file that lets me export an image/asset, in what resolution should I start? Do I start with the largest possible size (for iPad Pro) which is 1024x1366 then let the software cut the sizes into @1x and @2x?

If I'm only to support the iPhones, then this would be way lots easier. Thank you!

If your source is vector based, then (obviously?) it's a non-issue...

With bitmap / raster images, you almost always get better results by scaling down.

Depending on the image itself (a photo tends to scale much better than a line-drawing), you may not be happy with simple "auto-gen" features... in which case, you'd need to manually "scale and tweak".

(Hope that helps).
