launchimage | Create a Storyboard based launch image | iOS library

I'm doing some maintenance on an old iPad-only app in the appstore which I think was last put up from an Xcode8 build about 18 months ago.

My understanding (from here, for example) is that Apple have a 30th June deadline for existing apps to be updated to have been built with Xcode11 and SDK13. I am slightly unclear on whether this just means that any future app uploads must comply, or whether existing but non-compliant apps will be purged from the appstore, but for now I'm assuming the worst case and it would be good to get things sorted this side of the deadline.

The SDK requirement is no problem: I've successfully built the app with Xcode11.4 (after the usual wrestling with certificates and provisioning) and uploaded it to testflight and have reports from internal users that it seems to be working fine.

However there's another part of the requirement that concerns me:

Apps for iPhone or iPad must be built with the iOS 13 SDK or later and use an Xcode storyboard to provide the app's launch screen.

The app appears to use a LaunchImage.xib (very boring: a blank screen with a centred logo, but the app itself plays an opening video when it actually starts and it fits with that well enough). The build process seems to pick this file up from the value of the UILaunchStoryboardName key in the Info.plist file.

So my question is: is the fact my app uses UILaunchStoryboardName sufficient to meet the storyboard requirement?

If it isn't:

• At what point in the app submission and review process should I expect to get called out for it, if at all? Just the first time I try to submit after the deadline?

• Is there an easy/trivial way to migrate my .xib launch screen to a .storyboard? From googling around the topic I get the impression they are both XML formats that compile to .nib files, so they may not actually be all that different.

• Am I unnecessarily worried my app will vanish from the appstore on 1st July? (Actually, I see there is an attempt to answer this at iOS 13 SDK deadline confusion for existing released apps but reading the comments there I am not quite so confident as the accepted answer seems to be.)

Thanks for any pointers. Bear in mind I just dabble in this stuff and don't spend nearly enough time using Xcode to be an expert with it.

Just updated a Cordova app to contain an iPhone X LaunchImage and now in emulation, I'm seeing a properly sized launch image, which then a second later shows another that is too large and expands off the page.

I can't figure out why a launch image/splash screen is being displayed twice? In device initialization the navigator.splashscreen invokes hide and then never calls show so it isn't happening in the code. I placed launch images in Xcode and am using the cordova-plugin-splashscreen plugin. From the docs I assumed using Xcode or adding them to the config.xml were equivalent regarding splashscreen legacy assets, but now I'm confused. This only occurs on iPhone X and not on iPhone 5s, 6, 7, 8, or iPad.

I ran tns resources generate splashes and tns resources generate icons and it worked fine for Android but when it reloaded on iOS I got the following error:

/* com.apple.actool.errors / /Users/adam_beck/Desktop/code/fingoalNS/platforms/ios/fingoalNS/Resources/Assets.xcassets: error: None of the input catalogs contained a matching stickers icon set or app icon set named "AppIcon". / com.apple.actool.document.warnings / /Users/adam_beck/Desktop/code/fingoalNS/platforms/ios/fingoalNS/Resources/Assets.xcassets:./LaunchScreen.AspectFill.imageset/(null)[2d][LaunchScreen-AspectFill.png]: warning: The image set "LaunchScreen.AspectFill" has 2 unassigned children. /Users/adam_beck/Desktop/code/fingoalNS/platforms/ios/fingoalNS/Resources/Assets.xcassets:./LaunchScreen.Center.imageset/(null)[2d][LaunchScreen-Center.png]: warning: The image set "LaunchScreen.Center" has 2 unassigned children. /Users/adam_beck/Desktop/code/fingoalNS/platforms/ios/fingoalNS/Resources/Assets.xcassets:./LaunchImage.launchimage/(null)[2d][Default-1125h.png]: warning: The launch image set "LaunchImage" has 12 unassigned children. / com.apple.actool.compilation-results */ /Users/adam_beck/Desktop/code/fingoalNS/platforms/ios/build/Debug-iphonesimulator/fingoalNS.app/LaunchImage-700-568h@2x.png /Users/adam_beck/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/fingoalNS-fvoglrpadrrtljalueomxfllvudt/Build/Intermediates.noindex/fingoalNS.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/fingoalNS.build/assetcatalog_generated_info.plist

When I rebuilt for iOS I got the following error:

Failed to find LaunchScreen.storyboard but it was specified in the Info.plist. Consider updating the resources in app/App_Resources/iOS/. A good starting point would be to create a new project and diff the changes with your current one. Also the following repo may be helpful: https://github.com/NativeScript/template-hello-world/tree/master/App_Resources/iOS We will now place an empty obsolete compatability white screen LauncScreen.xib for you in platforms/ios/fingoalNS/Resources/LaunchScreen.xib so your app may appear as it did in pre v2.1.0 versions of the ios runtime. Info.plist: Merging CFBundleURLTypes: Property CFBundleTypeRole is required!

and it exits with Command xcodebuild failed with exit code 65

Thoughts?

Note. I can find many question with similar titles but none of them are in the same context and neither their proposed solutions have worked for me.

I am trying get started with Flutter following the official tutorial. (https://flutter.io/get-started/test-drive/#terminal)

When I try to run

My app is white labeled by building a generic app and then resigning the app bundle with new images. Before iOS11 I could achieve this by switching in new images into the bundle and resigning. However now that asset catalogs are required for the app icons I'm having trouble creating the Assets.car file.

Here is what I have tried:

Copying Images.xcassets to a working directory (with a build directory next to it). Images.xcassets contains AppIcons.appiconset and LaunchImage.launchimage.

From the command line

I think ive done a bad manipulation and my project dont run since, ive tried every solutions on stackoverflow without any good result.

so im desesperate and i prefer to ask.

heres my error message : /Users/dev/Documents/Work/TheSecondLast/TheSecondLast/Assets.xcassets: None of the input catalogs contained a matching launch image set named "LaunchImage".

[Here is my screenshot]-->1

I Really hope someone will have the time to help me and i thank you all even if you dont.

I have created a project with nativescript-vue that works fine on emulator and also I can install it to my iphone with tns run ios but when I try to build and IPA and send it to a friend with diawi.com the app installs, the icon and splash screen are fine but then it crashes, I could see this in crash reports:

I'm working on a mobile app for iOS/Android. I'm using Visual Studio Community for Mac version 8.1.5, and the project was initially created as a new Tabbed Forms Xamarin App.

When the new project was created, the Assets.xcassets "folder" already contained two items - AppIcon and LaunchImage, with the LaunchImage screen looking like this:

I didn't create this, it already existed. There was also a LaunchScreen.storyboard file, and in the info.plist file, the iPhone Launch Images setting was already set to LaunchImage (the name of the image set in xcassets that already existed and which is shown in the screenshot above), and the Launch Screen setting was set to LaunchScreen:

I then added a bunch of images to a subfolder in the Resources folder, added each image to the correct box in the xcassets screen, saved everything and then tried to add an image to the LaunchScreen.storyboard file.

Unfortunately, when I add an Image View control to the Launch Screen, the Image dropdown in the widget properties does not list the LaunchScreen as an asset I can use!

If I create a new Image Set in the xcassets folder, it creates a screen like this:

This has nowhere near the number of different images sizes (I guess because it's a general image, not an image specifically for the launch screen), but, I can set the Image View on the launch screen to use this set.

So my question is: how can I use the LaunchImage screen (with its many different sizes for different devices) as the source of an Image View widget on the LaunchScreen story-board? What am I missing?

I have a PWA which essentially re-directs the user to the messages app on open using Javascript. With the roll-out of iOS 12 and changes to PWAs, the webpage no longer re-initializes and executes the Javascript when it is re-opened or when it re-gains focus. Instead, it now loads the previously saved state and won't re-execute the Javascript.

Does anyone have any ideas around this? Can I force Javascript execution every time the PWA has focus? Can I force the page to re-initialize on load?

Sample code below:
