I use a set of launch images for my app and noticed that when I'm having a call, recording a voice note or sharing my Internet connection and put that activity in the background and launch my app, the launch screen is wrinkled in the center. Is there anything I can do to make the image look ok or is it just a standard iOS behavior?

  • Seems like an autolayout issue. Can you share the constraints applied to your launch screen ? – Alladinian Aug 11 '16 at 09:52
  • I don't load my launch screen from a .xib file, it's a set of images that I have in the Assets folder that I choose to load. – toobiz Aug 11 '16 at 10:17

    I had this same issue using launchscreen.storyboard, with a fixed height/width image centered in superview, with aspect fit turned on. Whatever Apple is doing with that call status bar is not compatible with launch screens. – Jake T. Feb 28 '18 at 16:05

Just define a key in plist file will solve your problem

Status bar is initially hidden = YES

OK, the solution I found is to hide status when launching the app, just like here

    Did you figure out a way to solve this without hiding the status bar initially and without using a launch storyboard ? – Petar Mar 17 '17 at 11:27

    It is a real solution for what may be an Apple bug? It seems it's chopping a horizontal stripe out of the middle to make up for the status bar's height... Mine happened even with fixed height/width constraints, aspect fit on an image view, and centered in superview using a launchscreen.storyboard. – Jake T. Feb 28 '18 at 16:04

Seems like Apple "take" 4% of screen space from the middle of the screen (as far as I tested) to give it to status bar. Personally I faced this problem when using iPhone modem mode.

So if it is not critical for image to be centered vertically - the solution would be to place image above/below this "4% middle screen area".

Examples when image is cropped:

How image should look(image centered vertically & horizontally, width & height are fixed size)

How it actually looks

Example when image looks as supposed to (but not centered) :
