I’d add that SplashViewControler to your story board. Then, using the story board designer, make the SplashViewControler the initial scene by checking off the “Is Initial View Controller” property of your SplashViewControler. Then, create a segue from your SplashViewControler to whatever your next view controller is. Make sure you name that segue. Then, when your server process is complete, fire that segue manually:

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"YourSegueName" sender:self];

I may be wrong but I think the HIG talks about not doing splash screens this way. You also need to consider how you will handle a server timeout or error from the server…
