iOS Launch Screen Cuts into Splash Animation

Question

I have a splash animation that is being cut into for the first ~0.4 seconds by the launch screen. I do not want to remove the launch screen. I was wondering if I could set the splash animation to play only after the launch screen closes. I would rather not hardcode a delay of 0.4 seconds if possible, as it feels like a hack.

Answer 1

Yes you can. The best place to do so is in your main view controller's viewWillAppear method. You can put a trigger in there or launch the animation directly. Hardcoding a delay is indeed not a good idea because besides device configuration like processor speed etc there are a lot of other contributing factors to the time the launch screen takes.
