My iPhone App won't run with letterboxes in the new iPhone 5 simulator. How do I get it to letterbox?

Question

I just downloaded the new version of Xcode and ran the app I've been developing. For some reason, it didn't letterbox it. I want to add in the letterboxing effect until I get the app ready for the new screen.

Thanks!

All glory to @Hemang, this answer is from his comment above, and I'll gladly delete this answer in deference to his.

I had the exact problem. Needed to do both of:

1. Reset the Simulator: from the menu, iOS Simulator > Reset Content and Settings... .
2. Clean your Xcode project (⇧⌘K). Personally, I like to clean the entire† derived data directory (⌥⇧⌘K).

† AKA "nuke the entire site from orbit...".

Answer 2

In the simulator, remove your development app. This will remove any leftovers. Now run again, without the new launch image.
