Compiling an iOS app using Flash requires an application descriptor file. Within this XML file, you can tell the app to compile for High-Res iPhones, iPad 2 as well as remove the default gloss on an icon and even change the look-and-feel of a status bar.

Settings that apply only to iOS devices are placed within the element in the application descriptor. The iPhone element can have an InfoAdditions element and a requested element as child. The InfoAdditions element allows you to specify key-value pairs that are added to the Info.plist settings file for the application.
