Question

I have some sort of problem, when it comes to customizing the iPad-launch-lcreens of a universal app on iOS5.0+. My app does not read the Default-LandscapeLeft~iPad.png and/or Default-LandscapeRight~iPad.png splashes.

The strange thing about this is, that the app only accepts Default-Portrait~iPad.png and Default-Landscape~iPad.png – but does not read the Default-LandscapeLeft~iPad.png and/or Default-LandscapeRight~iPad.png splashes. I tried various things and read all the tutorials on the web related to that topic.

Things I tried for example:

1. Setting Default-Landscape~iPad.png in XCode->Target->Summary->Launch Image (Landscape). Result: It launches always with Default-Landscape~iPad.png – Splash, but ignores Default-LandscapeLeft~iPad.png / Default-LandscapeRight~iPad.png

2. I deleted XCode->Target->Summary->Launch Image (Landscape). Result: When device in Landscape, it launches with black image. It ignores all Default-Landscape* splashes that are in directory and project bundle.

Has anyone ran into the same problem? I use Xcode 4.3.1 with iOS 5.0 and 5.1. What I am maybe looking for, it a drag and drop interface for landscapeLeft and landscapeRight in Xcode -> Target -> Summary properties (where you set the launch images).

Answer 1

from apple documentation the names should be

• Default-LandscapeLeft.png – left-oriented landscape version.
• Default-LandscapeRight.png – right-oriented landscape version.

Without the ~iPad, since these images are only supported for the ipad.
