iOS Duration of Splash Screen (Default.png)

Question

im using a Default.png file for my iPad-app. It appears correctly but i could'nt find a way to modify the duration of the splash screen. Has somebody any suggestions? Google has many sites that show how to setup the startscreen but could'nt find a solution for my problem.

Answer 1

The first rule of Human Interface Guidelines for Splash Screens is: don't use splash screens. The second rule is: don't use splash screens!:

Supply a launch image to improve user experience.

Avoid using your launch image as an opportunity to provide:

An “application entry experience,” such as a splash screen

An About window

Branding elements, unless they are a static part of your application’s first screen

If you absolutely must include a long-duration splash screen, and have darn good reasons for doing so, the usual approach is to throw up a UIImageView containing a copy of you launch image in, e.g., application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: - which should provide the illusion of a lengthy splash screen.

But please don't.
