I'm getting the error 'Launch Storyboard not found' in Xcode 10 when trying to upload the Archive to TestFlight.
I added LaunchScreen to the Info Plist and added it directly to the main project folder.
One thing I noticed is that the main Target of the storyboard is greyed out so I can't check it, though.
Any thoughts?
Just create new storyboard => right click on the project => New File => Choose story board ( name it as Launch or anything ). Storyboard name can be anything.
In case LaunchScreen not display then remove and add again.
I was able to get it linking by adding the file to Compile Sources.
It seems that if when bundling using react-native (I also used ignite as a starting boilerplate) it wouldn't let me link up the target, even manually -- so adding it to here did the trick and thus I was able to archive the project.
You need to add Launch Screen to the General > App Icons and Launch Screen
Whilst your Storyboard is open, ensure you've selected it as an Initial View Controller.
This is driving me nuts.
My app was running normally and then I don't know what I did but any changes I now make in the storyboard/ IB/ Xibs etc are not updating when I run the app either on real device or simulator. For instance, I changed the textColor of UILabel but when I run the app, the old color still shows both on device or simulator. I am using Xcode Version 7.3.1.
Please help. Thanks
This solution had worked for me:
Just delete that storyboard in which changes are not reflecting and take new storyboard instead it will start reflecting changes.
When you have the simulator open.
Click and hold down your app icon
When you seen the icons shaking and "X" in their Top Left, Click to delete it
Do the same for any other App Icons you may have showing in the Simulator Home screen
In Simulator menu at top - Click "HardWare" -- "Home" to stop icons shaking
In same menu Click "HardWare" -- "Reboot" (Wait for this to complete)
Quit Simulator from its menu "Quit Simulator"
(nb: when using device to run app, I would delete it from app as well)
Then Go back to Xcode
click in to menu "Product" -- "Clean"
Quit Xcode and open up again
Run Simulator on the iPhone Simulator Size you just cleaned out (above)
I've tried to simulate the issue you're having but unable to, however, when I have any issues on running my apps, the above seems to work.
[ Sometimes Xcode can be a bit slow, so I tend to wait a few seconds to confirm it / Xcode has actioned it, as I sometimes used the keyboard too fast for it to keep up.]
Hope this helps!
Hopefully to save someone some frustration, I had this same problem and figured out that I must have accidentally hit Command+d while trying to copy something and duplicated the scene. The duplicate was laid perfectly over the original so I couldn't tell I was editing the duplicate instead of the actual scene linked to my navigation controller. I was so focused on the problem I didn't notice the new warning for an unreachable scene in my storyboard.
When my Main.storyboard was not saving (its file icon remained grey after clean+build), I found that running git add -u and git commit -m "//your comment" in my terminal would change the Main.storyboard file icon to yellow again (not grey)
Try removing all constraints from the changes you made and then reapply them. That is what worked for me.
I'm trying to use Xcode's LaunchScreen storyboard as my launch screen? All the questions that have previously been asked about this refer back to the old launch image or .xib method - trying to do it now with the new LaunchScreen storyboard that Xcode automatically generates instead. I've selected the LaunchScreen storyboard as my launch screen file in my Deployment Info:
The storyboard itself confirms that it is set as the launch screen in it's file inspector.
And the info.plist file reflects this as well.
And yet, it doesn't work. The LaunchScreen storyboard never shows - it just goes straight to the first screen in my main storyboard. Using Xcode 7.2 and deploying to iOS 9.
Enable these two settings for the LaunchScreen.storyboard
If you are using xcode 11.2 you'll need to remove the app and execute it again to see the launch screen. I have to do this every time I modify the launch screen in order to see the new changes.
Another thing to make sure is that Launch Screen File is set to Launch Screen.storyboard
**Delete the app from the device. Re-run. **
In my case I had all the suggested settings set correctly but continued to have the original blank launchscreen. In the spirit of AmJa's suggestion regarding a "cache" problem, I deleted my app from my device and reinstalled. Reinstalling did the trick for me on both my devices and simulators.
In case anyone else runs into this issue, I resolved it by simply deleting the ViewController on my LaunchScreen storyboard (leaving me with an empty storyboard), creating a new ViewController and resetting the Storyboard entry point to that new ViewController. There may be some sort of bug with XCode 7.2 with respect to the LaunchScreen storyboard and default entry point into the auto-created View Controller, but then again, I've tried replicating this 3 times and it hasn't ever repeated itself, so maybe not.
In storyboard, in ViewController scene, I had to check Is Initial View Controller for storyboard to be seen as Launch Storyboard.
Suprisingly this is not checked when you add first View Controller. Xcode 11.
Just in case it helps someone.
Scenario, I created my new project and copied a old Launch Image from another project. And then started getting the launch image but when I wanted to change it to new image then still i was viewing the old image it was stuck for ever as launch image no matter what I do.
Then I reset my Simulator and restarted my iPhone and there you go I stared getting the new image. This looks like that somewhere in the documents or cache the devices store the old image until you reset the phone.
Thanks
As #abanet, mentioned in his answer, anyone who uses Xcode 11.2 and above, they have to delete their app and launch it again to see launch screen changes. It's not reflecting immediately. It looks like a bug from Xcode definitely not an intension.
How to fix for Xcode 11.0 and above:
Do this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41287094/2190175 if you haven't already, and after that:
Delete app from device / simulator
Restart device / simulator
Reason: Launch Screen part of storyboard is cached during development and doesn't change until you remove app from device / simulator and reinstall it completely.
Other solutions didn't work for me, but this did:
Toggle on and off Device Orientation (e.g. support Upside Down) and Hide Status Bar in General.
I'm not sure which one did the trick, but it's working now.
If you don't see anything and your Launchscreen.storyboard only has an ImageView in it, then it might actually be showing the storyboard but not the image. Try putting a button in it or something. I've discovered that my Launchscreen.storyboard is actually showing but won't show any images and I don't know why.
The issue can be also that the "LaunchScreen.storyboard" is not added to this target.
To fix this open "LaunchScreen.storyboard" then press on "File Inspector" and under "Target Membership" add it to the needed target.
I tried everything mentioned here, the only thing that worked for me was creating a new LaunchScreen file. I'm using Xcode 12.1
(Don't forget to update the reference in the targets settings)
I was banging my head against a wall with this since Xcode 10.1 does not include a launch option for the new 11" iPad Pro when you create a new iOS Launch Image set, and without it, the iPad Pro doesn't display correctly, leaving me no choice but to get this working with a Launch Screen storyboard.
I tried combinations of so many things, but I wanted to post what ended up making it work 100% of the time (which was, in fact, a combination of a number of things).
As you have no doubt read, for the UIImageView within the Launch Screen storyboard, you should NOT include the extension (.jpg or .png). So many posts say that, but leave out that the reason is that you should create a new image set within Images.xcassets (NOT Launch Screen image set, but just image set) and name it whatever you want (for instance, "Launch-Default"). Then, drag and drop the desired .jpg or .png into the new image set. You will then use the name of that image set within the UIImageView in the storyboard and everything should work fine (the image should even show up inside of Interface Builder).
Also, within the General settings for the project, make sure to set the Launch Screen File to your new storyboard.
You need to add App orientation specific Launch Screen.

Drag LaunchScreen.storyboard & LaunchScreenBackground.png to Xcode sidebar. Then specify LaunchScreen in Xcode General page. See attach image
In my case, the problem was that the image for the logo was taken from a different target. Make sure that the image is from the main target of the application, and reset the simulator via menu Device/Erase All Content ad Settings...
In my case a few image views cover the whole parent view of the launch screen (e.g. pinned to the view edges). I had to uncheck the Resize view from NIB in the Attribute inspector for the launch storyboard and finally it worked for me (just do not forget to manually delete the old app from the simulator)
In my case the background color of the view (full screen) was set to a "missing" color literal! After trying all above of course ;(
A jpg image does a problem change the extension to png or use another png image
Worked like a charm for me
in xcode9 swift4 LaunchScreen storyboard, use .jpg image & uncheck clear graphics context for imageview. it's absolutly working.
I am working on a project with other teammates so we have be storing our project on the cloud as a zip file. After unzipping the file, Xcode does not display the main.storyboard correctly; won't show buttons, labels, images, etc. However, when built using the simulator, all of these display correctly. In Xcode I can access them and change them but am unable to delete or move them through the main.storyboard. Any ideas or suggestions to fix this inconvenience?
I think this is because the view controller is locked to prevent editing. Try unlocking it by
Select Identity Inspector of view and set Lock to Nothing
I have an app that has a single XIB file for the interface. I'd like to move to storyboard. I've created the storyboard, add all of the relevant UI elements and linked them to the header file (IBoutlets). I've gone to my project summary and selected my storyboard in the iPad deployment section.
My problem is that the app is still using the XIB, rather than my storyboard. Any ideas?
Switching from Xib to Storyboard is still buggy...
Delete the App manually from your iPhone/simulator or restore the simulator. Clear your Project, etc. Maybe you have to restart Xcode too.
