I\'ve tried building

Answer 1

I had a similar issue on an iPod. To fix this, I replaced

<key>UILaunchStoryboardName~ipad</key>
<string>LaunchScreenIpad</string>
<key>UILaunchStoryboardName~iphone</key>
<string>LaunchScreenIphone</string>

with

<key>UILaunchStoryboardName~ipad</key>
<string>LaunchScreenIpad</string>
<key>UILaunchStoryboardName~iphone</key>
<string>LaunchScreenIphone</string>
<key>UILaunchStoryboardName~ipod</key>
<string>LaunchScreenIphone</string>

in Info.plist.

I'm using xcode 7.2 . At first, I created a LaunchScreen.storyboard file, as Potassium Permanganate suggested, and it worked! However, I didn't want a launch screen, so I tried setting Main.storyboard as Launch Screen File and it did the trick!

When you migrate your app from earlier version of xCode to xCode 6 or xCode 7, you will face this issue.

For iOS 7 and earlier, developers need to provide separate launch images for all screen sizes, resolutions and orientations their app supported.

In Xcode 6 or later, there is another option. You can specify a storyboard whose initial view controller will then be used as the app’s launch screen. Use below steps:

• Create a blank storyboard file named LaunchScreen.storyboard.

• Go to your target settings and, on the "General" tab, select the storyboard as your Launch Screen File in "App Icons and Launch Images" section. Xcode will add a corresponding UILaunchStoryboardName key to your app’s Info.plist. When this key is present, Xcode will prioritize it over any launch images you might have set.

• Add some subviews to newly created storyboard's view and position them with constraints. When you launch the app on a device, the OS should use the scene as the launch screen.

Delete the older app from simulator and clean the project.

Cheers :-)

Don't Do anything that are described in earlier answers...

To show view Controller follow the following single step

Step 1 : Add the splash Screen for iPhone and iPad.

After this this error will not come again.

My App does not use a launch image. Setting the "Launch Screen File" to my "main.storyboard" file fixed the issue for me.

This setting can be found under "Target->General->App Icons and Launch Images"
