Xcode 11 UILaunchImages has been deprecated, use launch storyboards instead Warning - ios

I just downloaded Xcode 11 Beta 4 and when I want to build my Swift 4 project gives me:
UILaunchImages has been deprecated, use launch storyboards instead
How can I fix it?

Please read the release notes for Xcode 11 beta 4:
Known Issues
Your app might fail to build if it contains a launch image. The failure message resembles the following: “The launch image set named <image set name> did not have any applicable content.” Launch images are deprecated and should be removed; use a launch storyboard or .xib file instead. (50210495)
Workaround: Clear the build setting ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_LAUNCHIMAGE_NAME.

Xcode -> File -> New -> File... -> Launch Screen.
Select Target -> Build Settings -> Search "LaunchImage" & delete string from (Debug and Release) Asset Catalog Launch Image Set Name.
Select "Assets.xcassets" & remove LaunchImage from it.
Build & Run.......enjoy

add a new storyboard to your project
name it LaunchScreen.storyboard and save
add a new view controller to your LaunchScreen, add an imageView, and
reference your launch image
make LaunchScreen.storyboard your initial view controller in
the Attributes Inspector (make sure to uncheck the old initial view
controller)
in your General settings (App Icons and Launch Images) in the Launch Screen File dropdown, select LaunchScreen
After testing, to get rid of compiler warnings, delete the LaunchImage folder in Images.xcassets, and in Build Settings, delete LaunchImage (in Debug and Release) from Asset Catalog Launch Image Set Name.

In my case a couple things were happening...
I had in my Info.plist file UILaunchImages which was causing this warning. After deleting it, the warning went away.
On the General tab of my ProjectTraget the Launch Screen File was empty. So, adding my launch screen file there from the drop down made my app launch correctly again (This was my main storyboard file).
I hope this helps anyone else having the same warning, and also their app looking letter-boxed.

Xcode Launch Image Source

I have a very silly question, my xcode project doesn't have setting for Launch Image Source , I have already added my splash screen image to Images.xcassets -> LaunchImage , but in my project target General -> App Icon and Launch Images doesn't have setting for Launch Image Source
I was facing the same issue which I solved this way:
Select your target in the project navigator and find the Build Settings section
Search for the Asset Catalog Compiler options
Go to the Asset Catalog Launch Image Set Name option and set its value to the name of the iOS launch image you created. If you went with the default name, then this value would simply be LaunchImage.
If the new launch screens do not show, it might help to delete your app and install it again.
Also make sure the Launch Screen File option in your target's General Settings is blank.

Installed the app on iPhone 6 iOS9 and here is what happened. Notice black bars on top and bottom. It works just fine on iOS8. How I can fix it?
I've tried building with Xcode 6.4 & 7. Same result.

Did you migrate your app from an earlier version of Xcode? If so then Xcode is now making an assumption about your screen size and you need a way of indicating the actual screen size at run time.
There are two ways:
a) If you use a launch screen.
You are missing a LaunchScreen.storyboard file.
Create a Launch Screen object from the New File... dialog
b) If you don't use a launch screen.
Go to your Target's settings and choose General, then App Icons and Launch Images.
Now set "Launch Screen File" to your "main.storyboard" (or another storyboard if appropriate)
My App does not use a launch image.
Setting the "Launch Screen File" to my "main.storyboard" file fixed the issue for me.
This setting can be found under "Target->General->App Icons and Launch Images"

For me the problem is i'm migrating my app from earlier version of Xcode and the project is missing LaunchScreen.storyboard file. I have just created LaunchScreen.storyboard and added it to launch Screen File. This did the trick.
I'm using xcode 7.2 . At first, I created a LaunchScreen.storyboard file, as Potassium Permanganate
suggested, and it worked! However, I didn't want a launch screen, so I tried setting Main.storyboard as Launch Screen File and it did the trick!
This one is if you do not use storyboard at all.
It occurs when you remove LaunchScreen from Launch Screen File in App icons and Launch Images.
Instead of removing it from here go to info.plist and find Launch screen interface file base name and remove LaunchScreen, i.e. leave it blank.
It wont show in info.plist if you have removed LaunchScreen already from Launch Screen File. Then you can give any name in Launch Screen File and it will appear and you can remove the name.
When you migrate your app from earlier version of xCode to xCode 6 or xCode 7, you will face this issue.
For iOS 7 and earlier, developers need to provide separate launch
images for all screen sizes, resolutions and orientations their app supported.
In Xcode 6 or later, there is another option. You can specify a storyboard whose initial view controller will then be used as the app’s launch screen. Use below steps:
Create a blank storyboard file named LaunchScreen.storyboard.
Go to your target settings and, on the "General" tab, select the storyboard as your Launch Screen File in "App Icons and Launch Images" section. Xcode will add a corresponding UILaunchStoryboardName key to your app’s Info.plist. When this key is present, Xcode will prioritize it over any launch images you might have set.
Add some subviews to newly created storyboard's view and position them with constraints. When you launch the app on a device, the OS should use the scene as the launch screen.
Delete the older app from simulator and clean the project.

I have same issue in my app . In my app i have multiple targets added to project . If i use launch storyboard solution then i can see full screen but in my case my Lunch image looks blurred and stretched on iPhone 4 . To come out from this issue I have used LaunchImage asset solutions . After this still I am facing same issue .I have tried all above solutions, At end I found my png images don't include ALPHA resolutions . After adding new images ,i can see full screen images .
iOS changed the way the system detects the resolution of the iPhone. You used to have to supply a number of png images named things like "Default-568#2x.png", "Default-667h#3x.png". Now you don't have to do that anymore. You need to delete those "Default-568#2x.png" style files and move on to using a proper LAUNCH SCREEN object in your project.
To add a launch screen just go to the New File... dialog (File / New / File, or press Cmd + N)
Double click that new Launch Screen file to edit it. Be sure it is ticked "use as launch screen" in its properties.
Finally be sure to select your LaunchScreen.storyboard file under project properties / Targets / "App Icons and Launch Images"
Go to the asset catalog and create a new iOS launch Image. then in Target>General>App Icons and Launch Images>Launch Image Source you will see automatically the new Launch Image created in the assets catalog.
In my case, I have several targets in the project and each one has it's own launch screen images. The weird thing one of the targets looks fine but others have those black bars. The thing was in the name of Launch folder inside assets. Change name to LaunchImage solves the problem.
Swift 4.2
select LaunchScreen.storyboard if its empty
In my case I have one asset with launch images however it was displaying the top and bottom dark bar as well.
I've tried the launch storyboard solution and yes it works but I didn't want to add a new file so, this is what I did to fix the issue:
Copied my launch images to another folder
Removed the existing LaunchImage asset
Added a new LaunchImage asset
Added the images to the new LaunchImage
That's it!
Go to target settings in xcode in that section go to App icons and launch images section in that section select launch screen file you will find a drop down of values select CDVLaunchScreeen value against launch screen file value
I had a similar issue on an iPod. To fix this, I replaced
<key>UILaunchStoryboardName~ipad</key>
<string>LaunchScreenIpad</string>
<key>UILaunchStoryboardName~iphone</key>
<string>LaunchScreenIphone</string>
with
<key>UILaunchStoryboardName~ipad</key>
<string>LaunchScreenIpad</string>
<key>UILaunchStoryboardName~iphone</key>
<string>LaunchScreenIphone</string>
<key>UILaunchStoryboardName~ipod</key>
<string>LaunchScreenIphone</string>
in Info.plist.
I had an old app (iOS 7.4 - 8.2) and after upgrading it got the same issue (getting black empty bar at the top), I managed to solve it by:
Main.storyboard
Choose your Scene & Controller
on left menu, go to Attribute Inspector
find "Presentation" and instead of "Automatic" set it to "Full Screen"
It did the trick for me.
My app is written in python kivy. This is what I did. It worked.
The reason is that I don't have AppIcon and LaunchImage defined.
There is free website that can provides you a set of icons and
launchImages for various devices.
Once you have the full set, usually 2 folders - AppIcon and
LaunchImage folder. Open your Xcode project, General > AppIcon and
Launch images.
In the AppIcon Source, click the arrow on the right. It will go to
another page, in which you can drag and drop the two folders in
(yes, drag the folders).
Go back to the previous General tab, in the AppIcon Source, you can
select your folder, usually called AppIcon-1. And tick 'include all
icon asset'
Leave 'Launch Screen File' blank. This is very different from
previous Xcode version.
Under the deployment info, status bar style, you can tick require
full screen.
After those steps you should be good to load again.
Please note these steps are for a non storyboard app. In my case, my app is written in kivy.
Don't Do anything that are described in earlier answers...
To show view Controller follow the following single step
Step 1 : Add the splash Screen for iPhone and iPad.
After this this error will not come again.

The reason is that I don't have AppIcon and LaunchImage defined.
There is free website that can provides you a set of icons and
launchImages for various devices.
Once you have the full set, usually 2 folders - AppIcon and
LaunchImage folder. Open your Xcode project, General > AppIcon and
Launch images.
In the AppIcon Source, click the arrow on the right. It will go to
another page, in which you can drag and drop the two folders in
(yes, drag the folders).
Go back to the previous General tab, in the AppIcon Source, you can
select your folder, usually called AppIcon-1. And tick 'include all
icon asset'
Leave 'Launch Screen File' blank. This is very different from
previous Xcode version.
Under the deployment info, status bar style, you can tick require
full screen.
After those steps you should be good to load again.
Please note these steps are for a non storyboard app. In my case, my app is written in kivy.
Don't Do anything that are described in earlier answers...
