Xcode 6 storyboard screen size wrong in iPhone5s(iOS 7) but not (iOS 8)

Question

I created a new project with xcode 6.0.1 using swift and set deployment target to iOS 7.0.

The screen size is wrong for iPhone 5s in iOS7 - it shouldn't have any black spaces.

Solution 1

In new Xcode 6 projects, you don't have these [email protected] images.

Do the next steps to fix it:

1) Open your Images.xcassets and look for LaunchImage. It is probably missing.

2) In this case, click on + (located at the bottom) and click on New Launch Image.

3) Select your project target and open Build Settings tab. Look for "Asset Catalog Compiler - Options" section and then "Asset Catalog Launch Image Set Name", if it is empty type LaunchImage.

Voila!

Solution 2

Try using [email protected] image as splash.

Solution 3

1. Project Properties -> General -> App Icons and Launch Images -> Click (Use Asset Catalog)

2. Pop-up -> Click (Migrate)

3. Delete (Launch Screen File)

Finish!!!

Solution 4

In Xcode 7, make sure in addition to what's been said about adding a LaunchImage you also add this entry in the plist file:

Solution 5

I was facing this problem in XCode8. I figured it out that Launch Screen File was not set.

Go to : project Properties -> General -> App Icons and Launch Images

Click on drop down and select Main.storyboard.

Yes, this is the right trick to do. The only thing is, in Xcode 6, I did not see the file auto generated as before. I had to manually copy the Default-568h@2x from some old project.

Thanks for sharing this - so easy - but I was overlooking it. I tried to add a splash screen - wouldn't work and when I deleted all references, when I would do a build my view was distorted and not all the objects were showing - even after a restore from the previous day's backup. Used your suggestion - back to normal. Sad how complicated Apple makes what should be an easy feature to add - and keeps changing it from one Xcode version to the next. Not everyone sits in front of Xcode 6 days a week...
