The how to doesn't make it clear that you have to add the "eagle" & the "giraffe" key to the Info.plist. So here's a short abstract of the whole thing:

- Install the newest Xcode 4.4.1 4F1003 (it didn't work with 4.4 for me)

- Put [0] in [1]

- Edit [2]. You might have to change the permissions of the file to edit it. You know you can do it!

- Add a "eagle" key with a string value of "640"

- Add a "giraffe" key with a string value of "1136"

- Start the simulator in iPhone retina mode.

Hope this helps a little
