iPad Application shows app icon as launch screen in iOS 10

Question

In iPad iOS 10 Application shows app icon as launch screen / Splash screen if we don\'t provide any launch screen.

I had not set any launch screen or im

Answer 1

This is probably due to the animation that is used to give the "zoom" effect from the app icon when the user launches your app.

You will notice that the launch image animates it's alpha from 0.0 to 1.0 as the user opens the app.

In your case, you have not specified an image so there is nothing to show. This is something that isn't supported as your app would be rejected if you tried to submit to iTunes Connect. You should always ensure that you have a launch image (or nib) set, even if it's just a plain white image.

You could probably try filing a bug report about it but my expectation will be that you are just told to add image resources to the asset in the Assets Catalog.

Answer 2

I was also getting this issue in my app for iPad and I found solution of this.

Solution: I added a launchscreen.xib in my app and select this file in to LaunchScreen section of 'General' section in target window.

I did not add launch images of iPad devices, may be this is the reason of issue.

So now this issue has resolved. :)

Answer 3

This is the launch screen issue by sure. Set launch screen in .plist file. It should be solved.

For iOS less than 9.0 you can set image as launch screen and for others you need launch screen as XIB.

Answer 4

Just in case anyone's still struggling with this. My problem was an entirely different thing. For me the "Slow Animation" were on in the iOS simulator. I probably had accidentally hit CMD + T. You can turn it off from iOS Simulator menu Debug -> Slow Animation.

I hope it helps someone.

You need to add images to project with following names :

Answer 6

We can add a launch screen from the new file menu and then set it in the general settings on the application.

or you can also add images in images.xcassets with the name Launchimage.
