How to integrate splash screen for all types of iPhones in Xcode 6.1?

Question

I need to create and app which will run on iPhone 4S, 5,5S, 6, 6+ and the deployment target will be iOS 7.1. I saw Apple introduced LauchScreens.xib for creating the launch

Answer 1

In Xcode 6.4, as of 2015-07-06 (yyyy-mm-dd), I used launch images rather than a launch screen file (.xib). This is targeting iOS 7.1+.

First, delete the entry from the Launch Screen File drop down. Leave this blank, if this points to a .xib the .xib will override the launch images source. Here is the setup in Target / General / App Icons and Launch Images.

Second, create a new Launch Image (NOT a new Image Set) after selecting the “+” at the bottom of the middle pane in Images.xcassets. Here is the pop-up after you select the “+”.

Third, in the new Launch Image, there will be 20 squares, each asking for .png file. Now you need to create 20 .png files of the correct size. I used Pixelmator and exported each file as a .png. But what is the “correct size”? See below.
