Scaling Storyboard from iphone to ipad

Im trying to convert iPhone app storyboard to iPad. I used https://stackoverflow.com/a/8694985/2516538 to convert the storyboard to iPad, but the views are not scaled.

In order to scale them, I need to edit each view controller (~50) and scale all views inside (~20+).

I'm not using Size Classes or Auto Layout, I used autosizing for iPhone Storyboard [ To make it scale in iPhone screen sizes ], but it does not scale well in iPad [ so I removed autosizing it iPad storyboards ].

Do I have to edit each view controller and views inside them, or there is another way to do make the job easier?

There is definitely only one way to make your life easier: finally learn how Auto-Layout and Size Classes work and use this knowledge. The link you provided stinks a bit: its 2016 now and at least 4 different screen sizes you have/want to support – slxl
@slxl the thing is I'm working with an old app, and making it auto layout would take me more time to make it that doing it manually. – iJazJaz
@iJizJaz of course its up to you, but I would think with perspective too. What you want to do won't make your app 'younger' - you will just have another 'old app' which is still hard to support. And every time you want to change something in this app - a little kitten dies somewhere. – slxl

If you want to give support for both then use size class, any width any height for ipad and compact width regular height for iphone. (assume portrait only).

when giving constraint any any then meke view controller's size as ipad size from simulated metrics and when give c width r height then make iphone size from same. first set constraint from any any and then fron compact regular. add constraint in compact regular size class and uninstall constraint of any any for this size class and vise versa.

you should first clear your old constrains and then start from first as mentioned above. hope this will help :)
