Answer 1

You only have to add three images for iPhone, iPhone 5 and iPad named Default.png, Default-568h@2x.png and Default@2x.png. Now the clarity of the images depends on the size you are taking. You should take the standard sizes.

Answer 2

Having just had to fix this same problem myself, I thought I'd post an update.

I found that I had to set the Supported Interface Orientations in the Info.plist before it would work correctly.

I also found this article on iOSDeveloperTips.com to be pretty useful: Managing Multiple Launch Images

Answer 3

See App Launch (Default) Images under the iOS Application Programming Guide.

It should also be noted Apple advised NOT abusing the launch image as a splash screen. Apple HIG

Answer 4

To add splash screen just simply replace all the default images (likedefault@2x.png,....) with your splash image with the same default name (for all hardware display type) . To increase the duration of your splash screen , in appDelegate method

didFinishLaunchingWithOptions 

just sleep the main thread for the duration you want as:

[NSThread SleepForTimeInterval:(Your time interval)];

you can also use sleep(time interval) in

didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

sleep(3);
