I\'m in the process of migrating my images to an Asset Catalog. My app needs to access the Launch Image after launch and display it on the screen.
Easy enough,
The solution that we have used is to update the asset catalog and target only iOS 6 and Prior.
How to do it. Go to the asset catalog. And on the top right corner click on the 'Attribute Inspector' icon. Here you can set the Target OS for the Launch Images. Uncheck the iOS 7 check boxes for iPhone. Now you should be able to see the launch images for these devices. Doing this you will use the 2x Image for R4 as well.
