A lesson that I had learnt from working on these two different platforms is the following.  Never create sprite images without using an application.  If you work on a game for iOS and macOS at the same time, you will have to produce three different sizes for the same sprite picture.  In my case, I had to develop a totally new application while working on the last Sprite Kit project.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I submitted a new software title to <strong>Mac App Store<\/strong> several minutes ago.
