Default.png displayed normally and stretched on iOS 7

I have been testing some of my existing and one new app on iOS 7. All use a Default.png as a splash screen before the main app launches.

The problem is prior to iOS7 it all works fine, however on iOS 7 you get the Default.png displayed as expected and also a stretched full screen version behind…

Now I know the advice is often to create your own splash screen, however my apps generally load very quickly and using a Default.png it would have only been visible for a couple of seconds. If I use my own splash screen then even if it is created as the first line in main, I still see the black empty screen for a couple of seconds before the splash screen… leading me to believe it isn’t worth while.

Default.png is working as expected on Android (and iOS6).

What are you guys doing on iOS7?

Hi @jcborden,

I assume you’re bundling the “tall” launch image that has been required since the iPhone5 was released? You cite “Default.png” but I want to confirm that you’re including the tall launch image as well. I haven’t heard any other reports of iOS7-specific issues in this regard, but we’ll be monitoring this closely since the OS shipped to the masses today.

Best regards,

Hi Brent,

Sorry I should have been more specific. This is being tested on an iPad Mini. The build.settings are set to 

default = “landscapeRight”

I am including a Default-Landscape.png (1024 x 748)

All works find in the Simulator however if I test on my iPad Mini running iOS 7 (built with either SDK 6.1 or 7.0 beta) then I get the double image issue with one being horribly scaled to fit the screen.

I have done some more testing and the problem appears to be due to my transparent background of my Default-Landscape image which just had the app logo in the centre which worked as expected prior to iOS7. If I use a solid background then it works. Guess I might have to swap out the image between building for iOS and Android to get the best results…
