Modifying the splash screen

The Spotfire Deployment Kit for Apple iPad app uses image asset catalogs for the startup (splash screen) image. Images are pre-populated in the asset catalog, but you can change the splash screen that displays when the app opens.

Perform this task in the copy of the DeploymentKitApp in Xcode on your computer.

Prerequisites

Your image must use the same the resolution, size, and color depth as the default images.

For iPad portrait, the standard resolution 1x is 768 x 1024 pixels.
For iPad landscape, the standard resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels.

The 2x resolutions are double the standard resolutions.

Procedure

In the Xcode Navigator, open the folder Images.xcassets.
In the editor window, select LaunchImage from the list.
Placeholder areas appear.
Drag and drop splash screen image files (appropriately-sized .png format) on the placeholder areas in the editor window.

Caution: When you drop your images in the placeholders, you might be replacing existing images provided by default.
