I submitted this to MobGUI support yesterday. No response yet. Trying to complete an app. Any suggestions/workarounds would be great.
--------------------
I finished building an app for the iphone, which seems to function properly. Today, I used the option to design it for the ipad as well. I modified the sizes and locations of all the elements on the roughly 20 cards spread out over two stacks. It displays properly in LC, where I can check every card by pressing IPHONE or IPAD in MobGUI. I have checked and rechecked them. They all redistribute the objects correctly.
When I test the app in the simulator with the device set to ipad, however, the cards are a mess. Some work; some don't; some work correctly, but then after moving to other cards, they no longer display properly upon return.
The only way I can get the LC app to run as an ipad app in the simulator is to specify "ipad" as the supported device in the "application settings" area. If I set that to "iphone,ipod,ipad", it won't appear as an ipad app in the simulator. I doubt think this is effecting the messy display of the ipad version in the simulator.
I don't own an ipad, so I don't know if the app would actually run correctly on a real device. Perhaps the problem is just with the simulator, but I doubt it.

Re: ipad simulation
Received this response from John, which appears to have solved the problem.

Hi, Richard. Have you clicked the 'Add preOpenCard code to card script' button on every card? If not, then this may solve the problem. You can also select 'Hardware -> Device -> iPad' from the simulator menu, then start your app from it's icon in the simulator. This will allow you to leave the supported device as "iphone,ipod,ipad".
