Splash screen always messes up on iPhone 5. Must fix so I can submit to the App Store.

When I start my app on the iPhone 5, the propper Default-568h@2x.png splash screen shows for a bit and it looks great, but then it changes its mind after a moment and shows the 'legacy' Default@2x.png one which makes the splash screen look stretched and jarring and unacceptable for being downloaded from the App Store. This seems extremely bizzare for it to hop between splash screens.

Why does it do this? How can I get the splash screen to not be messed up so I can submit it to the App Store?

Perhaps there is an actual proper way to explicitly say it supports the iPhone 5 extra screen space in the plist manifest rather than just adding the png that would fix this?

Since existing AIR apps are broken in iOS 6/iPhone 5, it is important for me to fix this and get the app updated as soon as possible.

Could you try the following workaround and let us know whether it works.

Packaage the same image as Default@2x.png and Default-568h@2x.png and try running on both iphone5 and iphone4S and let us know if you still face any issues.

I gave that a try, Varun, and while it can remove the splash-screen-jumping on iPhone 5, it does it at the expense of making previous devices have a messed up, scrunched and distorted splash screen. It is quite critical for this to work so that people can begin submitting AIR-based apps and address the AIR iOS 6 breakage, any idea when an updated SDK might be available?...

Colin, I tried some apps from the App Store that support iPhone 5, their splash screens worked just fine with no mess ups. It seems to be specifically happening with AIR. Also, a 'black rectangle' sounds insuffecient for a splash screen, and just plain looks unprofessional.

The issue has been fixed internally and would be available in next prerelease. You can learn more about the next AIR mobile and desktop features by applying for our private prerelease program.

Support for the new launch screen is being added into the runtime. adding the new splash screen is the only way to convey that the app supports the new iPhone 5. We will keep you updated regarding the fix.

I see what you mean. Have you looked at any apps that have been updated in the last couple of days, that say they now support iPhone 5? Do any of those do the same strange thing?

It may need us to just have a black rectangle as the splash screen.
