Can it be possible to use an animating View as launchScreen?

Question

I want to make a launch screen with a animating view so for that i have to use story board or a xib/nib because that is not possible by using Apple's default launchScreen. But when I going to do this use a xib as launch screen there is anerrorlike launch screen may not have connections. There is any other way to use a xib or storyboard as a launchScreen. Any help will be appreciate.

Answer 1

You cannot create launch screen with animation but you can create a fake splash screen view controller and add animation on it:

Here is a sample project in which I used LaunchScreen.storyboard as... launch screen and in which I created a FakeSplashScreenViewController in Main.storyboard. This view controller is the root of my window. I put an animation in the viewDidLayoutSubviews:

[super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
[UIView animateWithDuration:3.f
                 animations:^{
                     self.myView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height); // implement your anim here
                 } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
                     // Change the root view controller
                     UIViewController *vc = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"ViewController"];
                     UIApplication *application = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
                     AppDelegate* appDelegate = application.delegate;
                     appDelegate.window.rootViewController = vc;
                 }];

Answer 2

No, it is impossible to make by standard tools.
You may create simple screen, show animation, load remote info and call segue.
I choose this way.

Answer 3

You can use a view controller instead and do what ever you want to do with it. but you have to first change Main Interface from LaunchScreen.xib to Main.

Answer 4

You can use below code . It may help you.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
         if(isAnimationShow)
         {
                //do code for show animation in ViewController file.
                ViewController *objlogin = [STORY_BOARD instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"ViewControllerVC"];
                [self pushViewController:objTimeSheetVC];
         }
         else
         {
               HomeVC *demoViewController = [STORY_BOARD instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"HomeVC"];
               [self pushViewController:objTimeSheetVC];
         }
}
