I have 2 web apps with the same meta tags (for testing purposes) linking to the same file to use as a splash screen.

one app is absolutely fine – not a worry and works fine anytime on any device.

the other app does not want to know about it – how come the splash screen seems so temperamental??

BTW – the app icon works fine, so I know the directory is set right – also note I am using the same image, so the specs for that are also correct.

    I run into this problem quite a bit and it is almost always caused by calling more than one splashscreen or the splashscreen not being 320×460 pixels (exactly). This should do the trick:

    <link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" href="/splash-iphone.jpg" />

    But before calling the splashscreen, you should include these three lines of code as well:

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black" />

    Having multiple web apps referencing the same splashscreen file shouldn’t be a problem, but not the other way around.
