I get an error "None of the input catalogs contained a matching launch image" in xCode5-iOS7

Question

I'm trying to define launch images. Probably only one image is missing.

I'm following the instructions from this site Create launch images in different sizes for different devices

So I have 7 images with the required size. But when I drag them to LaonchImages sheet it requires 8 images...the one that is missing is called "iPhone Portrait 2x" and according to the details pane I found its size 640x960 and I added it.

sill I'm getting the error - and the compilation fails...

Solution 1

Select your project, go to Build Settings, search for AppIcon-2 and change it into AppIcon and you will be fine.

Solution 2

Select project file and then select target in question. In General tab there is in app icons and launch images launch image source should be "Use assets category"

Solution 3

My LaunchImage file had been deleted and I had to add a new one in my xcassets.

Go to your images.xcassets. If there is no LaunchImage listed on the left, click the plus button at the bottom and navigate to new iOS launch image.

Solution 4

I could solve this by going to Build Settings of my target, searching for word "launch", then removing (using Backspace) "Asset Catalog Launch Image Set Name", that was set to LaunchImage.

Solution 5

The Launch Image asset has been deprecated. I deleted the Launch Image asset but then I was getting compilation error.

In order to fix the error, the Launch Image asset catalog name has to be removed from Build Settings.

Hi, that worked for me thank you, but if I may ask (as I'm new to Xcode coming from Visual Studio) Why do we also have to change it here when we already mentioned it in the "General" tab? or at least shouldn't it change automatically?

Thanks. I had to click into all three boxes shown until the value would switch back. But this was the required fix for me!

Thanks @Tr0yJ that was the case for me

@OmarBizreh i think xcode allows for multiple images assets for an app and it might be a silly bug by xcode.

I already have AppIcon in build settings. This did not solve it.

[ScottyBlades]

My AppIcon is just red here. Mine is "Use Asset Catalog" already.

[ScottyBlades]

Nailed it! Thank you.

In my case, I switched from a "launch image" to a "launch storyboard," but I got this error after removing the launch image. Removing the Asset Catalog Launch Image Set Name (or at least clearing its value) which had been set to the launch image name fixed the issue.

This was what I did when I switched from LaunchImage to LaunchScreen (storyboard).

[Anurag Sharma]

Thanks! This helped me, I removed the launch screen from assets and it was giving me an error. Then I deleted the launch screen link from build settings.

I upgraded to XCode 11.4/iOS 13. Since Launch Images are obsolete, I changed to using a Launch storyboard. I deleted the setting for Asset Catalog Launch Image Set Name and XCode found the storyboard that I created.

Had a similar issue. Did same as suggested, but added New iOS App Icon, was missing for some reason

Its very sad that you need to tell us all how to use xcode crappy interface by saying 'using backspace' - I spent 30 minutes trying to delete it 100 ways, but didn't try a simple backspace.

[Borzh]

Actually OSX uses backspace (or CMD+backspace) in many places as a delete button, as Mac's keyboard doesn't have a DEL key.

THANK YOU. I spent DAYS googling to fix this crap...

Now-days this is deprecated...
