Summary:
Having the latest iOS 8 beta 5 installed on my iPad I found out that an error and/or significant change in behaviour like UIImage loads images in iOS 8 leads to very unexpected results and makes existing apps unusable!!!

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Have a universal app, which is built for retina and nonretina devices. For some of the images you use, you provide retina resources explicitly, but for reasons of memory-consumption you will not provide retina resources for certain iPad assets, but instead you use the scaled up retina resources from the iPhone.

2) You use following UIImage initializer
UIImage *image = [self isPad] ? [UIImage imageNamed:@"myImageName@2x.png"] : [UIImage imageNamed:@"myImageName.png"];

3) Recognize, that you won't get the @2x-Resource any longer on the initializer, but instead a scaled down version.

Expected Results:
I would expect that the UIImage initializer would behave consistently with iOS 7 in iOS 8 and load the explicitly named resource without any interpretation involved.

Actual Results:
The wrong image gets delivered by the initializer, which leads to very undesirable results. (See attached screenshot showing both in comparison)

Version:
iOS 8.0 (12A4345d)

Notes:


Configuration:
iPad (3rd generation ATT), running iOS 8 beta 5
