I'm having the problem with LauchScreen in ios, I've prepared multiple images for the Launch Image Source. Also removed the text and the contents from the LaunchScreen.xib file so that the images will be displayed at runtime, yet, only black screen shows up. How am I supposed to prepare and set the image? I've searched similar questions but had no solutions that helped me. I would love to hear some tips and help from you!
Sounds to me like the image referenced in the Launch Image Source has a file extension in all caps, such as "image.PNG" instead of "image.png". Just rename the file extension to the latter and everything should work well.

I'm using a label to display text with my custom font on LaunchScreen.xib. My custom font shows up fine in the Interface Builder, but when I test it on my iPhone the font reverts back to the default font.
Not sure how to fix this or if it's a bug.
There's no big surprise here. The launch screen is shown at launch time - actually, before launch time - so the font probably hasn't yet loaded.
You could file a bug if you think you have a compelling use case. But I don't really think you do. Why are you showing any text in your launch image? It should be much more bare-bones than that - just enough to give the structure of the opening interface, which will be filled in when the opening interface actually appears. A "blank" screen with the same background color as the initial view controller's background color would be sufficient. You goal is just to provide an alternative to blackness.
A quick workaround is to use an UIImageView and have your text as UIImage on it, literally a picture of your text as .png / .jpeg or similar.
Note: It may take some time before you can see the image, I had to clean the Build Folder and reinstall the app a couple of times in order to see the image.
Another note: If you want to support multiple languages with different texts you will need to have different images for each language using this approach.
I want to do is add an image to one of my buttons. I uploaded an image to my Assets folder and whenever I add it as a background it comes out blank. I even tried adding a group with a background and it still doesn't work. I don't know why its not working. When I set a color to the button it shows but a background image won't show up. It seems so simple but when I run it the background is black. Please help.
The Images worked after I moved the images to the Assets folder of the WatchKit App instead of the WatchKit App Extension. Also, I changed the names to make sure they were correct.
For my case, first time I try new a Image set, set it's name, and then drag the image file in. But doesn't work.
Then some example video came into my mind and I directly drag the image file into Assets.xcassets, then set the file to Apple Watch only, and then drag the file to 2x. And everything is OK.
Looks like a bug somehow, but anyway it works.

Thanks for the time to look. I have a weird problem. my Launch image (AKA Splash screen) seems to automatically be tied to my App icon. so I cant change one with out changing the other. In other words, when I add a new app icon, it changes the launch image to match.
I am guessing this has something to do with the .plist file, but I cant figure out where to fix it.
Thanks for the time!
You can specify them differant in plist file. See here

Check Apple's link for default name of different files. You just need to rename with default name and add the image files in your project.
Sorry, I've asked a similar question but I'm already suffering 3 days dealing with a simple photo gallery in my app. I just need a gallery with array of 1024x768 images, a gallery that will fit pictures properly into the screen.
I've tried
ATPagingView - worked fine but an 1024x768 image couldn't be resized properly for both orientations.
MWPhotobrowser - didn't managed to connect because i'm using ARC, even if I disabled arc for added files, there was a compile error I coudn't get rid of.
Custom UIScrollView with pages, with a scrollView for each page and imageview inside it, but it didn't help.
Please, help me somehow, did somebody make galleries like that?
Give Nimbus a try. It is an open source framework that is run by jverkoey, ex Three20 guy. It is not ARC'd yet, but you can turn ARC off for compilation and that works just fine, plus they are moving to ARC soon, already have a git branch of it. It has a photoviewer class but I've not used it yet, but I will need to, that's only one of the reasons I'm using it. Pretty happy with it so far!
I already found KTPhotoBrowser classes. They are nice and well-documented. I implemented the very simple photo browsing gallery very fast. Images are now resized properly, everything is okay. if you want a gallery, try this, for sure!
