The launch screen image not showing up on my ios app on the device

Question

I have an ios app but am trying to add a launch image to the start. I am testing on an old ios 6 phone (which I think is the retina 4.7). I added the launch image in assets catalog like

I then have it mentioned like so:

When I run the app on my iPhone 6 device it has no load screen. What am I missing? I used to have a LaunchScreen.storyboard but I have all these images of the right size made and want to use those.

Answer 1

I've had this issue before and I believe it's a bug with Xcode. It will still be trying to use the LaunchScreen.storyboard file.

Try the following:

1. Clean your project.
2. Delete the app from the device/simulator.
3. Restart Xcode/Simulator and re-run.
