Prevent Splash Screen from showing after returning from background

Question

I've noticed something that happens in every app i develop. It's usually not a concern but in this specific app it would be great if i could "fix" it, if it's even a bug.

Steps to re-produce the issue:

• Start app , splash screen shows for approx. 3 seconds and app starts.
• Press home button, app goes to background.
• Bring app back from background (double clicking home screen and chosing it), shows the splash for half a second or so, and then the app goes back up .

Is it possible to get rid of that splash screen popping up for half a second on the way back from background? Its really a problem for this specific app.

Answer 1

I know that this question is marked an "answered" - but the reality is that the answer was not correct in my case and I want to share.

I initially came to the conclusion that the most accurate answer above was from QueyJoh - "this is something handled by iOS ... Short answer: it's out of your hands."

However after experimenting I managed to locate the issue as being entries in my info.plist file controlling the status bar. Specifically I had entries for "UIStatusBarHidden" and "UIStatusBarStyle".

Removing these entries from my plist file immediately stopped my app from showing the Splash screen when switching away from my app and back again.

Problem solved.
