I am using a LaunchScreen.storyboard to drive the launch screen in my iOS app. It works fine when I run the app on my iPhone. The problem is when I try to run the app on the iPad the launch screen is black.
I am not sure how to fix this problem.
I have created the LaunchScreen.storyboard using the built in option:
I then went to the target settings and made sure to select it:
Any idea as to why when run on the iPad I could be getting a black screen?
This is what I see in the info.plist:

I have an ios app but am trying to add a launch image to the start. I am testing on an old ios 6 phone (which I think is the retina 4.7). I added the launch image in assets catalog like
I then have it mentioned like so:
When I run the app on my iPhone 6 device it has no load screen. What am I missing? I used to have a LaunchScreen.storyboard but I have all these images of the right size made and want to use those.
I've had this issue before and I believe it's a bug with Xcode. It will still be trying to use the LaunchScreen.storyboard file.
Try the following:
Clean your project.
Delete the app from the device/simulator.
Restart Xcode/Simulator and re-run.

To launch the splashscreen, I use the images.xcassets with the LaunchImages. The problem is that it works perfeclty with the simulator, but not with an iPad (iPad 4th generation, ios 10.1).
Where do you think the problem comes from?
EDIT : Here is my configuration assets.
I just tried this myself in the simulator. I forgot to delete the "Launch Screen File" after setting the "Launch Images Source". This resulted in the LaunchScreen.storyboard being used every time, even after I deleted the setting! Deleting the app and re-deploying solved the problem.
Is it possible the same is happening on your device? Try deleting the app from your device and re-deploying.
I have a sencha touch cordova app which works perfectly fine on Iphones, to get it past the apple review I need to make it work on iPads too. I do not intend to support iPad users at this point of time so have kept the Devices as iPhone only in the settings. I expect the app to open in iPhone resolution on the iPad and works similar to the iphone - but it doesn't, when i install and run it on the iPad, all I get is a blank white screen and nothing happens further. On the xcode console I get this :
WARNING: The splashscreen image named LaunchImage-700 was not found
which is the only difference between the logs of the iphone and the ipad.
I believe it isn't getting the launch image for the iPad but I have no clue where or how to include this image.
Would be great if someone can point how to solve this issue and make my app work on an ipad.
I had this error after updating xcode. They got really picky about what splash screen sizes you can use.
I use this plugin on npm cordova-splash. This builds all different sizes of splash screens and my xcode automatically picked them up.
Usage is really simple just make sure you have a splash.png file in the root folder of your cordova project and run cordova-splash
I am making a test sprite kit game, and when I run it on the device, the splash screen doesn't show up although it does work on the simulator.
Here are some screenshots:
Normally I set the target to iOS 7.1 and later, so I use a .xib file and LaunchImage file in xcassets.
I have put 2 correctly sized splash screens in the iPhone portrait iOS 7&8 section, and have selected "Portrait" under iOS 7 and later. The link from the settings file is definitely going to the correct file.
When I run it on the simulator (presumably all devices are iOS 8), the .xib file is used and it displays that splash screen.
When I run it on my iPhone 4, it displays a black screen. In my other apps, it would choose the image from xcassets and display it, but this is not the case.
Does anyone know how I could solve this problem?
Edit
Basically, I have put 4 images into xcassets for a splash screen. I have selected iPhone portrait for iOS 7 and iOS 8.
In the settings pane I deleted the launch screen file reference, so the only reference is to the xcassets launch image (It points to the correct place). I have also deleted the LaunchScreen.xib file.
But when I run the app on the device and the simulator, no splash screen shows up.
I faced similar issue and fixed by Restarting the Mac and iPhone
Uninstalling the app from Simulator/ iPhone helped to fix this issue.
I was having the same problem, and I finally figured out a solution. I want my launch screen to show up on ALL devices capable of running iOS 7 or later, when running my landscape-only Sprite Kit game. Most devices that run iOS 7 can be upgraded to iOS 8 or greater, except for the iPhone 4 (which is stuck with iOS 7.1), and the launch screen wasn't appearing on my iPhone 4 test device. Then I stumbled across Apple Tech Note TN2244. As described in the Tech Note, once you edit the info.plist to enable landscape orientation for iOS 7.0+ iPhone launch images, the correct launch image will appear. As a side note, if you disable the launch image asset catalogs as suggested, the XCode Swift compiler gives you warning messages -- but you don't really need to disable launch image asset catalogs, and if you configure them properly the warnings will disappear and landscape launch images will now work just fine on all devices, including iPhone 4.
Your app's launch image is displayed as soon as your launch your app. Hence the name. It is removed when the appDelegate appDidFinishLaunching: method runs. If you are app has very little to load, your image might get displayed and removed before you have time to see it.
If you want to manually set a longer display time for your launch image, you can add this code to the appDidFinishLaunching: in the appDelegate.m file:
sleep(4);
4 being the number of seconds.
I have an iPhone app which works fine on iPhone 5 and 4s, when i run it on iPad2 i am expecting it to run in small window with 2x resolution but instead it runs fullscreen messing up all the layouts, apple has rejected my app and i need a fix.
I have created this app as iPhone only and built on Xcode 6 with ios8.0 sdk,
Please help
thanks
If you set a launch screen for your app, it will be fullscreen on iPad.
In Xcode, select your app target, then select General tab, scroll to App Icons and Launch Images, checkout the Launch Screen File.
Ok so finally deleted the xib file which i was using as launch screen and used the default images instead that solved the issue for me now , app runs in 2x mode on iPad with launch screen.
