iOS : Bypass the splash screen

Question

Just for thought, Can we bypass the Splash-Screen of iPhone/iPad app while developing the app? Actually, I need app without Splash-screen, but If I haven't set image for Splash in X-code, it displays as black screen after launch, I want to override this.

Answer 1

Splash image or Launch images are mandatory, as per HIG guidelines.

You must provide at least one launch image. Typically, an iPhone app includes at least one launch image in portrait orientation; an iPad app includes at least one launch image in portrait orientation and at least one launch image in landscape orientation.

Application submitted for review without splash screen will not be accepted by Apple.
