Some native iPhone applications (like Clock) display different default images while loading depending on where the user was when the app shut down last.

I wonder if that's something only Apple apps can do, or if mortals can do that, too.

Use a blank Default.png and then in your app delegate's -applicationDidFinishLaunching: method, load a UIView that contains your dynamic content. This solution sidesteps any conflicts with Apple's SDK terms as well as all technical problems.

  • Isn't DidFinishLaunching kind of moot? By the time I get there I can display the actual UI I want, not a static PNG. – iter Jun 30 '10 at 00:35
  • Not at all. If your app loads quickly, you can simulate a splash screen here, or any other custom load screen. – Alex Reynolds Jun 30 '10 at 05:18

AFAIK it's for immortals only. There is however one for each orientation and a separate set for the iPad. But nothing that allows you to change those once built.
