Black square on Launch screen on iOS 9.1

Question

I just noticed after I have upgraded to iOS 9.1 on my iPhone 6s that launch screen has a black square in the middle, so it covers the logo. I use LaunchScreen.xib file. It all works on previous iOS versions and simulator.

Anyone had that experience and knows how to fix it ? Or is it OS bug that needs to be reported ?

Here is a screenshot of my launch screen.

I am quite sure the black square supposed to be image.

Are you looking for xml representation ? I have just simple image placed in xib file. — PiotrDomo, Nov 05 '15 at 15:41
Have you tried only giving background color to image instead os setting image to it? — Fauad Anwar, Nov 06 '15 at 11:09
Have you try [This: iOS 9 Splash screen is black](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32627519/ios-9-splash-screen-is-black) May be you had same issue. — Fauad Anwar, Nov 06 '15 at 12:07

This was somehow related to corrupted .png image. I am surprised as it worked well everywhere else. Replaced the image and the problem is fixed.

How did you figure out that your png was corrupt. I am also chasing this bug. – Nash Nov 27 '15 at 14:09
For me, the .png was not corrupt, only in high resolution (probably more than the device could handle). solved it by decreasing the image quality – Eliktz Aug 08 '16 at 19:27
for me the problem was with the .png extension on the widget. Putting only the name of image (image.png -> image) works . – doxsi Nov 20 '18 at 08:35
