When I run the simulator, the app opens really quickly so it\'s impossible to see the launch image.
Set a breakpoint to the 1st line of your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: delegate method. Or better yet, inside main.
This will pause the app before showing your user interface and allow you to see the launch screen.
Set below code 1st line of your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
sleep(delay); // delay int value
