With the new iPhone out and the different screen sizes, I am wondering if would I have to make two separates apps for the same game one compatible for iPhone 4 and mother for the iphone5? Or would I just have to make my current game the screen size as the iPhone 5 and the older generations would just scale down? Is that how it works sorry if this was confusing, thanks for the help!

No, you don't have to make separate apps for the two iPhones, however, it is optional.
The new version of game salad basically either "crops" or "letterbox" to the iPhone that the user is using.
-> "Crop", essentially, some of the edges of your game will be cut out, known as overscan
-> "letterbox" if essentially when the user is using the iphone 5, the game will have two BLACK BARS on the top of the game and on the bottom, (although the colour may not be black, dependent on your background colour.
There is a template that you can see this in action.
Or, you can just preview your app by pressing "Preview" where there are some options "letterbox" and "crop" and you can see what the app would look like on the devices
I believe some people prefer to make two seperate apps, but it's tottally up to you
This is the template you can see how the iphone 5 game may look on iphone 4 device and vice versa!
