Description
When the app is launched, app icon is shown instead of the app splash image.
re-produce, create a basic alloy and and run.
[~isener] 1. please include CLI version you used to create the app. 2. does this happen with only SDK 6.2.2.GA or this is the case for other SDK versions?
Hi Feon, This seem to be the case with previous versions. Easiest option is to create a basic alloy app and run it via the Studio. Node.js Node.js Version = 6.10.3 npm Version = 3.10.10 Appcelerator CLI Installer = 4.2.9 Core Package = 6.2.4 Titanium CLI CLI Version = 5.0.14 node-appc Version = 0.2.41
Move to SDK.
There are a few things to check first, because I believe it's a non-issue: * The app-icon is shown by default when using storyboards * If you want to use a custom storyboard, it has to be in app/platform/ios (Alloy) or Resources (classic Titanium) * Storyboards are cached by the iOS Simulator, so the Simulator needs to be resetted (there's an option in the Menu of the iOS Simulator to erase contents and settings) * When using custom images, you should pass the hash of the image, because the asset-catalog in Titanium (currently) uses hashed image-identifiers by avoid naming-collisions * See the [iOS Launch Files](http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/iOS_Launch_Files) wiki for more infos I have quite a few storyboards running successfully, even more complex ones with split-screens, tabgroups and custom icons, so let me know if you have more issues.
Hi Hans, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, disabling "< enable-launch-screen-storyboard>" in tiapp.xml fixed the problem I was facing. However, there is no information in the documentation, http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Icons_and_Splash_Screens, regarding this. I will raise a JIRA ticket to include info about storyboards and splay screens.
Again: This is no bug and the default behavior if no custom storyboard is set. The guide could receive love though :-)
Closing as "not our bug". If you disagree, please reopen.
