Change the following line from:

food->setPosition( Vec2(visibleSize.width /2 + origin.x, water->getPositionY()-water->getContentSize().height/2 - food->getContentSize().height /2 + origin.y) );

food->setPosition( Vec2(visibleSize.width /2 + origin.x, water->getPositionY()+water->getContentSize().height/2 + food->getContentSize().height /2 + origin.y) );

Hi i added reply on cocos forum..can u please check...http://discuss.cocos2d-x.org/t/multi-resolution-help-needed/38960/14

Replied

It is positioning corrent in all iphones and wrong in all ipad's. I tried the same code in new project and it shows correct in iphones as well as ipad.  so i think there is some error in appdelegate..my appdelegate code is the multi res 2.0 code....can u please check..

here is the code - 

   auto one = Label::createWithTTF("Line one", "fonts/Bariol_Regular.otf",  38 );
    one->setColor(Color3B(150,101,68));
    one->setPosition( Vec2(visibleSize.width/2 + origin.x,  visibleSize.height - one->getContentSize().height + origin.y) );
    this->addChild(one);
    
    auto two = Label::createWithTTF("Line two", "fonts/Bariol_Regular.otf",  38 );
    two->setColor(Color3B(150,101,68));
    two->setPosition( Vec2(visibleSize.width /2 + origin.x, one->getPositionY() - one->getContentSize().height /2 - two->getContentSize().height/2  + origin.y) );
    this->addChild( two);
    
       auto three = Label::createWithTTF("Line three", "fonts/Bariol_Regular.otf",  38 );
        three->setColor(Color3B(150,101,68));
        three->setPosition( Vec2(visibleSize.width /2 + origin.x, two->getPositionY()-two->getContentSize().height /2 - three->getContentSize().height /2 + origin.y) );
        this->addChild(three);
        
        
       auto four = Label::createWithTTF("Line four", "fonts/Bariol_Regular.otf",  38 );
        four->setColor(Color3B(150,101,68));
        four->setPosition( Vec2(visibleSize.width/2 + origin.x, three->getPositionY() - three->getContentSize().height/2 - four->getContentSize().height /2 + origin.y) );
        this->addChild(four);
        
        
       auto five = Label::createWithTTF("Line five", "fonts/Bariol_Regular.otf",  38 );
        five->setColor(Color3B(150,101,68));
        five->setPosition( Vec2(visibleSize.width/2 + origin.x, four->getPositionY() - four->getContentSize().height/2 - five->getContentSize().height /2 + origin.y) );
        this->addChild(five);

it looks like this in iphone's and ipad's..

I tried the same code in new project and it looks same in both iphone and ipads

Here is my appdelegate as in multi res 2.0 tutorial..

 #include "AppDelegate.h"
    #include "HelloWorldScene.h"


    USING_NS_CC;

    // comment out for a portrait game
    //#define IS_LANDSCAPE

    #ifdef IS_LANDSCAPE
    static cocos2d::Size designResolutionSize = cocos2d::Size(1136, 768);
    #else
    static cocos2d::Size designResolutionSize = cocos2d::Size(768, 1136);
    #endif

    AppDelegate::AppDelegate() {
        
    }

    AppDelegate::~AppDelegate()
    {
    }

    //if you want a different context,just modify the value of glContextAttrs
    //it will takes effect on all platforms
    void AppDelegate::initGLContextAttrs()
    {
        //set OpenGL context attributions,now can only set six attributions:
        //red,green,blue,alpha,depth,stencil
        GLContextAttrs glContextAttrs = {8, 8, 8, 8, 24, 8};
        
        GLView::setGLContextAttrs(glContextAttrs);
    }

    // If you want to use packages manager to install more packages,
    // don't modify or remove this function
    static int register_all_packages()
    {
        return 0; //flag for packages manager
    }

    bool AppDelegate::applicationDidFinishLaunching() {
        // initialize director
        auto director = Director::getInstance();
        auto glview = director->getOpenGLView();
        if(!glview) {
            glview = GLViewImpl::create("Fun Trees");
            director->setOpenGLView(glview);
        }
        
        // turn on display FPS
        director->setDisplayStats(true);
        
        // set FPS. the default value is 1.0/60 if you don't call this
        director->setAnimationInterval(1.0 / 60);
        
        // Set the design resolution
        glview->setDesignResolutionSize(designResolutionSize.width, designResolutionSize.height, ResolutionPolicy::NO_BORDER);
        
        
        
        register_all_packages();
       
        auto scene = HelloWorld::createScene();
       

        director->runWithScene(scene);
        
        return true;
    }

    // This function will be called when the app is inactive. When comes a phone call,it's be invoked too
    void AppDelegate::applicationDidEnterBackground() {
        Director::getInstance()->stopAnimation();
        
        // if you use SimpleAudioEngine, it must be pause
        // SimpleAudioEngine::getInstance()->pauseBackgroundMusic();
    }

    // this function will be called when the app is active again
    void AppDelegate::applicationWillEnterForeground() {
        Director::getInstance()->startAnimation();
        
        // if you use SimpleAudioEngine, it must resume here
        // SimpleAudioEngine::getInstance()->resumeBackgroundMusic();
    }

Can you please check, really stuck here..

Is this a landscape application?

no, its portrait application..

Everything works fine with multi res tutorial, just trying to put labels one after another, it overlaps in all ipad’s..Can you please check..

Try positioning 2 other items like a square sprite and see if the same happens?

Yes the same thing happens..

here is the screenshot

Even with sprites?

yes sprites as well..

Can you show me please.

Here is the screenshot of both – iphone and ipad

This is the code – 

    bSprite = Sprite::create("menuback.png");
    bSprite->setPosition(Point(visibleSize.width - bSprite->getContentSize().width/2 + origin.x, visibleSize.height - bSprite->getContentSize().height/2+ origin.y));
    this->addChild(bSprite,1);
    
    auto aSprite = Sprite::create("profile.png");
    aSprite->setPosition(Point(visibleSize.width - bSprite->getContentSize().width/2 + origin.x, bSprite->getPositionY() - bSprite->getContentSize().height/2 - aSprite->getContentSize().height/2 + origin.y));
    this->addChild(aSprite,1);

I cant quite understand why this is happening, if you let me know your Skype ID we can jump on skype and I will help you resolve this.

Yeah sure..My id is – mihirthakur7

Please call or msg me anytime..

I have added you.

Thanks for helping me out with the issue over skype call..

Solution for others –  Do not add origin.y, if you are positioning the object in reference to previous object.

:D
