iOS 9 Splash screen is black

Question

My apps\' splash screens are all plain black after upgrading to iOS9.

Does anybody know why this is? Some of them are using a .xib splash screen and some are using image

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I downloaded Xcode 7 and upgraded my project to swift 2.0. After recompiling the issue was gone at first but then it started to happen again later on during my tests on other unrelated code.

So far two things get this fixed, in both cases temporarily. Remove the background image, add the same image with another name. New image works for a while. Second, is you resize the image view, and in most cases the image starts to work again, but only for a while.

I submitted my new update to iTunes connect while I was seeing the splash screen. Not sure if this is an operating system issue or app api issue that gets corrected with a recompilation of code.

I also tried enabling and disabling the new Bitcode feature but that didn't help.
