When starting a project using Xcode 5, I can't seem to get the launch image for iPhone to show up in landscape mode. I have tried both using Asset Catalogs and not using Asset Catalogs.

For testing, if I start a project using Xcode 4.x, then it works fine. It also works fine if I opened a Xcode 4.x project using Xcode 5.

Any suggestions?

Not using Asset Catalog

using Asset Catalog

Using Asset Catalog: icons files

Using Asset Catalog: Launch images files

You must select the [Use Asset Catalog] button and select which asset catalog corresponds to your app icon and launch image.

Your project file should look like this when that is completed:

This is sadly a bug for iOS7(and previous)/Xcode, Apple just does not want apps to start in landscape mode with a launch image.

See http://www.raywenderlich.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10316 for more details on why.

One possible fix is to manually name each image according to convention, that supposedly fixes it. Another may be to have a launch file instead, although I haven't personally tried that. Good luck.
