I faced the same problem.

1. Add an new imageset to XcodeAssets.
2. Add images to to the imageset.
3. Add image view to launch screen and set your imageset as image
4. On Imageview's attributes inspector, uncheck 'clears graphics context'
5. Clean the build folder and run again.

You have to make sure that the file name of your image has a format like .png or .jpg at the end otherwise it will not work. Also, before adding your image, you have to make sure that the image file is in your "Assets.xcassets" folder within your project. This can be done with a simple drag and drop. Also, make sure when you've added your image to your storyboard that the image name in the top left also matches the real image file name. I would try looking into Constraints too. Hope this helps. Good luck with your App.

In my case, it turned out I had some views still linked to the view controller that was now just a basic view controller. If I control-click on the view I can see the outlets with warnings, however, the warnings did not appear in Xcode which is why I was having trouble finding them.

After trying everything on several StackOverflow threads, here's what worked for me:

• Use a .png
• Do not include it in your Assets catalog. Add it to your project's hierarchy directly, as you would add any source file.
• In the image view, load the image including its extension. Example: launch_app_image.png

(Might have to clean product or derived data to update, but I didn't have to)

I tried so many things with this (this thread alone seems to have a million ideas and half of them are conflicting). The problem for me was that when I did things like restarting the device and Xcode, it would cause the image to show for a few sessions of the app, and then it would stop (I have no idea why, but WOW it was annoying).

After countless hours, I found that A.G.'s answer in this thread is the correct one. The one thing I was doing wrong was that I was creating a new image set within xcassets, but I was then still using the name of the image within the UIImageView inside of the storyboard instead of using the name of the image set.

To clarify, what you would do is create a new image set and name it something like "Launch-Defaults", and then add your images to it. Then, within the UIImageView inside of the storyboard, you use the image "Launch-Default" (not including an extension since there is none since this is an image set).

When you do all of that, the image should actually appear correctly inside of your storyboard. Some people say the image will display blank if you don't use the extension (.jpg or .png), but I assume that is because they are not using the name of the image set. Others say you need to use an extension like .png or .jpg, but the key is to create the image set inside of xcassets and then use that image set inside of the storyboard. When done correctly, there should be no funkiness like an image not showing up or the Launch Screen only working some of the time (requiring a reboot).

This issue is related to the Assets.xcassets to fix it you must add the image as resource but not in the xcassets folder and then should work just fine
