For iPhone 5 in Portrait we use [email protected]. How to set a launch screen in Landscape for iPhone 5?

Answer 1

According to Apple's Documentation : Providing Launch Images for Different Orientations ,

Each orientation-specific launch image must include a special modifier string in its filename. The format for orientation-specific launch image filenames is as follows:

<basename><orientation_modifier><scale_modifier><device_modifier>.png

Eg :

1)    Default-Portrait.png
2)    Default-PortraitUpsideDown.png
3)    Default-Landscape.png
4)    Default-LandscapeLeft.png
5)    Default-LandscapeRight.png

Note : These modifiers are supported for launch images used in iPad apps only.

So you have to change your Image according to the Orientation for iPhone 5.

Two ways to do that :

1) Rotating the Splash Image to 90 Degree.

2) Inverting the Dimensions (320 * 480 -> 480 * 320).

Answer 2

to provide a landscape launch image you must create the image.. and just rotate it 90 degrees in an external image editor
