You can use sequence of images, here is code :

for(NSInteger i=1;i<=totalImages;i++){
        NSString *strImage = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Activity_%d",i];
        UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:strImage ofType:@"png"]];
        [imageArray addObject:image];
    }
    splashImageView.animationImages = imageArray;
    splashImageView.animationDuration = 0.8;

and just call startAnimation and endAnimation method of UIImageView.

OR

Its very simple...I had used it in to begin my app with splashView.Hope it vil help you.... In AppDelegate.m:

application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

UIImage* image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"splash.jpg"];
splashView=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:image];
[window addSubview:splashView];
[window bringSubviewToFront:splashView];
[self performSelector:@selector(removeSplash) withObject:self afterDelay:2];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];

To remove splashView:

-(void)removeSplash{

    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:window cache:YES];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.75];
    [UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
    [splashView removeFromSuperview];
    [UIView commitAnimations];
    [window addSubview:viewController.view];
}
