No touches on bottom of iPhone 5 screen

If you ever convert an old project to work with the iPhone 5 (or future larger devices), you may encounter a situation where everything displays correctly on-screen, but for some reason, you’re not getting any touches in the lower 88 pixels. (The extra height of the iPhone 5 screen in X-Code.)

If you’re using a MainWindow.xib file, this is most likely caused because you haven’t selected ‘Full Screen At Launch’ for the Window, so it uses your original size for the window (480×640). (Even though it uses your original size for the window, the larger views will ‘leak’ and the entire screen will be filled, but any input on the lower section will be masked, so you won’t get events there.)
