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

Answer 1

I had the same issue with the new iOS 9 project I built using Unity (5.2). To fix that I added the image that I want to show as the launch image to the LaunchScreen-iPad.xib file's Image view.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. I downloaded Xcode 7 and upgraded my project to swift 2.0. After recompiling the issue was gone at first but then it started to happen again later on during my tests on other unrelated code.

So far two things get this fixed, in both cases temporarily. Remove the background image, add the same image with another name. New image works for a while. Second, is you resize the image view, and in most cases the image starts to work again, but only for a while.

I submitted my new update to iTunes connect while I was seeing the splash screen. Not sure if this is an operating system issue or app api issue that gets corrected with a recompilation of code.

I also tried enabling and disabling the new Bitcode feature but that didn't help.

Answer 3

In the storyboard 'Clears Graphics Context' box unchecked then It works.

Answer 4

I have fixed this issue after removed Size Classes for LaunchScreen.xib I used only Auto Layout for it.

Answer 5

Same problem here after I updated to iOS 9. Re-installing the app from the App Store seems to solve the problem. I guess, it's an iOS 9 glitch.

Answer 6

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 5:640 x 1136 (@2x)
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.
