Xcode, can't remove "Launch image" from project

Question

I am playing with my Xcode, following tutorial, learning this stuff. I added an image to "Launch Images", rebuilt my project, it showed up.

• I removed the image, rebuilt my project .... image still flashed before app started

• I deleted my project, redid my project, this time with no image, launched the app and voila ... image is still there?

• I reset simulator counters and settings ... same issue

Is there a permanent location where this file can be removed from? Is there a cache that needs to be reset etc?

Please let me know.

Answer 1

With the project open Goto xcode > Product > Clean

Answer 2

iPhone Simulator caches stuff. Try a clean build, or actually deleting the app from the simulator (by holding down on a home screen icon until it wiggles, then X-ing it).

Answer 3

Navigate to the project folder, go to Resources folder and delete the folders called splash and icon (do this from both from Xcode and Finder). Also delete the app from either the device or the simulator by pressing on it and x-ing it out then go to Product->Clean.

I know this was very painful, but now you can set the new icons and launch images from Xcode.

Good luck.
