iOS 7 launch image (splash screen) fades out

Question

On iOS 7, launch images fade out instead of disappearing immediately when the app is loaded.

Is there any setting to prevent this launch image fade out animation?

Answer 1

I suspect there is more going on here. Put some logging statements right at the start of the app cycle, since the splash screen appears while App Delegate methods are called, log in there and use Instruments if necessary to see what is going on at the moment of launch. Also try ending the multitask on the app before relaunch to see if that makes a difference, and also try a new, empty app to see if the experience is the same. You haven't indicated what the app does upon launch, but is there any animation you've coded up to affect fades in or out upon launch?
