Smooth transition from launch image to main view

Question

Is it possible to implement a smooth transition when the app loads, from the launch image to the first view?

The default behavior is on/off, with an immediate change

Answer 1

You are in luck. I just did this a few min ago. You need a splash screen. An image on your view that is exactly the same as your default image that the device loads. Then in your app have it dismiss with a fade animation called from the viewDidAppear function

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    [self performSelector:@selector(killSplashScreen) withObject:nil afterDelay:1.0];

}

- (void)killSplashScreen {
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{splashScreen.alpha = 0.0;} completion:NULL];
}
