As @ValentiGoClimb mentioned in the comment, Xcode has bad defaults when generating the Info.plist file; it only sets the Storyboard keys for iPads and iPhones, not iPod Touches.

<key>UIMainStoryboardFile~ipad</key>
<string>iPadStoryboardFileName</string>
<key>UIMainStoryboardFile~iphone</key>
<string>iPhoneStoryboardFileName</string>

I haven't found a good way to edit this under the General Project settings screen in Xcode (which is why this problem most likely exists), so adding the key manually in the Info.plist file works well.

<key>UIMainStoryboardFile</key>
<string>iPhoneStoryboardFileName</string>

For me, I’m using XIB not Storyboard. But with Xcode 10 it’s set as “MainStoryBoard” as Main Interface in target setting.

So I have changed from “MainStoryBoard” to “MainWindow” and worked for me.

Try this -

Open your mainwindow's xib file
select window in xib file
in inspector window select first tab
check mark the "visible at launch"

Your iPod is supposed to have the retina display.

so just try using Default@2x.png .

And also please make sure to have this in resources.
