Is a splash screen necessary for an iPhone app?

Question

It is the first time I am going to sumbmit my app. I know from a document that launch images should be specified, but I have created my own launch view (a viewcontroller with a uilabel and a uiimageview) and it work great . But if I do not make launch images, I am afraid of not being accepted. Can someone give me some advice?

Quote by Apple:

Custom icons and images:
- Application icon (required for all apps)
- App icon for the App Store (required for all apps)
- Launch image (required for all apps)
- [...]

The app will indeed be rejected when no launch image is specified.
Simply take a screenshot of your custom launch viewer, that's all :)
