Still not optimized for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

Question

I have an app that just went live and it's still not saying "Optimized for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus"

What am I missing now?

do you have 64bit architecture? -- or rather what are your architectures and valid architectures settings like — Daij-Djan, Oct 08 '14 at 09:50
I've just resubmitted the app. Will answer to my question for positive outcome. — Asif Asif, Oct 13 '14 at 10:45

After few additional adjustments made, I had re-submitted the app few days ago. Now it's live and optimized for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus!

Here are the steps I made:

Added App icon (including Settings Icon and Spotlight Icon) & Launch images to Images.xcassets in proper resolution and naming of the files (self-explanatory as they are) was done as following:

Additionally added Launch Screen file. Because Apple says it's important to add.
Made sure that App icon, Launch Image and Launch file sources were properly selected at Project Targets -> General
Adjusted all inner screens to fit with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus screens, of course!
Made sure that arm64 was included in Project Targets -> Build Settings. (Bye bye iOS 5 support!)
Removed armv7 from Required device capabilities (a.k.a. UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities) in info.plist
On iTunes Connect, added screenshots for 4.7 and 5.5 inches devices excluding the device status bar. [Screenshot Properties]

Hello @Asif, is it really necessary to have the Launch Screen file to make the app optimised for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus? – Tiago Pereira Nov 20 '14 at 14:07
@TiagoPereira yes, apparently Apple tagged it as "important". https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/MobileHIG/LaunchImages.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH22-SW1 – Asif Asif Nov 20 '14 at 18:06

Is removing `armv7` actually necessary? That seems bizarre. – Todd Lehman Jan 28 '15 at 01:21
Hi @AsifAsif, How did you optimize your existing app for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus? – Ganesh G May 08 '15 at 06:10
the steps above I did to make an existing iPhone 5-optimized app again optimizing for iPhone 6 and 6+. – Asif Asif May 09 '15 at 08:03

Launch screen file should also be selected on your target settings:

He said he added the launch screens so this answer is more like a comment in the form 'have you done it right' ;) – Daij-Djan Oct 08 '14 at 09:50

as a matter of fact, launch screen isn't really required when you have the launch images properly in place. http://stackoverflow.com/a/25982710/1336105 – Asif Asif Oct 08 '14 at 10:10
@AsifAsif, you should edit your answer above to say so – Klaus Feb 20 '15 at 07:39
