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

The common solution of adding the Images in LaunchImage and setting it in Launch Image Source and deleting the entry in Launch Screen File did not solve my issue. The launch image is dependent on the iPhone you are using. Since my app was for iOS 8.0 and greater, choosing it in LaunchImage will ask you to upload only Retine 4.5" and Retina 5.5" images. But these sizes will work for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. You should upload the images based on the device.

iPhone 6: 750 x 1334 (@2x) portrait, 1334 x 750 (@2x) landscape
iPhone 6 Plus: 1242 x 2208 (@3x) portrait, 2208 x 1242 (@3x) landscape

I wasted so much time solving the black screen launchimage issue. Hope this helps someone.
