ios fade out splash screen (iphone 5 friendly)

Question

I\'m wanting to spoof the feel of the main splash screen fading out whenever applicationDidBecomeActive is called, but it\'s not working. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I find, from ios6 you get a nice transition doing this

-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application willFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.2
                          delay:0
                        options: UIViewAnimationCurveEaseIn
                     animations:^{
                        self.window.viewForBaselineLayout.alpha = 0; // and at this alpha
                     }
                     completion:^(BOOL finished){
                     }];

    return YES;
}

then immediately at the start of

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{

    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.5
                          delay:0
                          options: UIViewAnimationCurveEaseOut
                      animations:^{
                         self.window.viewForBaselineLayout.alpha = 1; // and at this alpha
                     }
                     completion:^(BOOL finished){
                     }];

It gives a cross fadeish effect from the loading screen to the now loaded app screen.
