Dealing with iPhone 6/6+ startup images

Question

I used to simply work with two screen sizes, but now after the new iPhone 6/6+ are announced I need to deal with four screen sizes, So How could I specify the startup images for these new devices ??

Thanks in advance

Update

enter image description here

In .xcassests file I found new settings added in Xcode 6 GM which is (Retina HD 5.5) and (Retina HD 4.7), I guess it's easy to find which one is for iPhone 6 and which for iPhone 6+ but what's the name for these startup images by default ??

because I don't usually work with .xcassests file

3.5 inches = Default.png
(320px x 480px)

3.5 inches (with retina) = Default@2x.png
(640px x 960px)

4.0 = Default-568h@2x.png
(640px x 1136px)

4.7 = ??
(750px x 1334px)

5.5 = ??
(1242px x 2208px)

The Answer:

After some search later, I found the following answer:

3.5 inch screen: LaunchImage-700@2x.png
4.0 inch screen: LaunchImage-700-568h@2x.png
4.7 inch screen: LaunchImage-800-667h@2x.png
5.5 inch screen: LaunchImage-800-Portrait-736h@3x.png
iPad2          : LaunchImage-700-Portrait~ipad.png
Retina iPads   : LaunchImage-700-Portrait@2x~ipad.png

The device should just automatically scale up the existing ones... — rebello95, Sep 11 '14 at 05:18
@rebello95 I would like to design a startup image for iPhone 6/6+ without scaling the old ones, for better resolution .. as what we were doing for iPhone 5 — MujtabaFR, Sep 11 '14 at 05:21
Good point. I don't currently have Xcode 6 GM installed, but I'd see if there are new sets in the `.xcassets` file. — rebello95, Sep 11 '14 at 05:22
@rmaddy thanks for notifying me, but I still didn't find the answer — MujtabaFR, Sep 11 '14 at 06:05

You can name them whatever you want, you just have to make sure they are in your plist, and that you don't specify the extension or @2x or @3x suffix in the plist. The files in your Xcode project should have the .png and @2x or @3x extension. The size is always specified in portrait mode (even for landscape images).

This has the added benefit of not using the asset catalog and allowing you to easily load the png in your app to do a custom transition from the splash screen to your app.

Here's an example from my app, You Doodle:

<key>UILaunchImages</key>
<array>
    <dict>
        <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key><string>7.0</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageOrientation</key><string>Portrait</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageSize</key><string>{320, 480}</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageName</key><string>Default</string>
    </dict>
    <dict>
        <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key><string>7.0</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageOrientation</key><string>Portrait</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageSize</key><string>{320, 568}</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageName</key><string>Default-568h</string>
    </dict>
    <dict>
        <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key><string>7.0</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageOrientation</key><string>Landscape</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageSize</key><string>{768, 1024}</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageName</key><string>Default-Landscape</string>
    </dict>
    <dict>
        <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key><string>7.0</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageOrientation</key><string>Portrait</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageSize</key><string>{768, 1024}</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageName</key><string>Default-Portrait</string>
    </dict>
    <dict>
        <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key><string>8.0</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageOrientation</key><string>Landscape</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageSize</key><string>{414, 736}</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageName</key><string>Default-Landscape-736h</string>
    </dict>
    <dict>
        <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key><string>8.0</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageOrientation</key><string>Portrait</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageSize</key><string>{414, 736}</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageName</key><string>Default-Portrait-736h</string>
    </dict>
    <dict>
        <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key><string>8.0</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageOrientation</key><string>Portrait</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageSize</key><string>{375, 667}</string>
        <key>UILaunchImageName</key><string>Default-Portrait-667h</string>
    </dict>
</array>

This worked great until we needed split screen support and had to switch to a LaunchScreen.storyboard. Unfortunately, it seems less flexible and we can't specify different images on an iPad for portrait and landscape modes. — EricS, Jul 06 '16 at 02:22
