Asset Catalog Launch Image Not Being Used for 4 inch simulator

Question

For some reason my 4inch launch image isn't chosen when I reference it programmatically from an asset catalog? It uses the default launch image for the 3.5. Any clue?

UIColor *image = [[UIColor alloc] initWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"LaunchImage"]];
self.view.backgroundColor = image;

If you try to reference directly to the file does it load the correct one? — Nikos M., Oct 29 '13 at 08:00
Did you try specifying `LaunchImage-568h`? This is currently required for 4". — , Oct 30 '13 at 06:50

Instead of using the launch image asset catalog, I created another with the same images and used that as the background image reference.

UIColor *image = [[UIColor alloc] initWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Background"]];
self.view.backgroundColor = image;
