Question

I am doing the following things to make sure that my application launches only after it gets a location update for the user.

1) My app delegate implements CLLocationManagerDelegate

2) In my app delegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method, I am doing

[locationManager startUpdatingLocation]

where locationManager is CLLocationManager instance and then returning YES

3) in my app delegate implemented this method

 - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation

4) Now when didUpdateToLocation methods get called I do

  [self.window addSubview:myViewController.view];
  [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

5) I have a splash page also

So this is what I see, the splash page appears for a second or two and then a plain white window appears for a second or so and then I see my myViewController.view

I want to avoid that white plain window to appear, I know it appears because in that time my phone is trying to update user current location, but I would like it to keep displaying the splash screen during that time instead of displaying the white plain window.

Answer 1

Add an image view with the same image you use as your splash screen to the window in MainWindow.xib.

(PS: what a horrible user experience! What will you do if the location manager fails to get a location fix? Or if it takes 30 seconds to get one? Whatever you do, your users will be gone.)
