How to do Targeted Color Management with the 9.7" iPad Pro's extended gamut

Hello everyone,


With the annoucement of the 9.7" iPad Pro with its DCI-P3 gamut, and the iOS 9.3 SDK documentation, there is no mention of color management using ICC color profiles in iOS and the section https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2313/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40014694-CH1-TARGETEDCOLORMGMT still says to target sRGB color profile for iOS.


If there is no public API for color management on iOS, I guess there must be "something" so that the colors are not completely off all the time (i.e. direct sRGB to DCI-P3 without transformation).


It is unrealistic to do hard-wired color management by checking the device model the software is running on, so what would be the way of doing this properly?


I am concerned with both image assets and code-generated graphics.


Thank you.

TN2313 'Best Practices for Color Management in OS X and iOS' shows 15 hits on ICC. Are you saying you are unable to infer from those what you need to do?


Otherwise I'd expect a delay until docs are updated specifically, if at all, for the 9.7" iPP.
