I will add localization to the splash image from my app.

I created the images and put them in the correct folder, but when I launch the application "updating" my app in the simulator it still shows the old image.

I tried to cleand and build with no results.

If I delete my app and istall it again, it works fine!

I did a test in 2 iphones from my company and in both I got the same behavior, I have to delete and install the app to update the images.

My question is: This will happen when I update the app on the apple store? The users will continue to see the old splash image?

Your users shouldn't see the old image when updating from the app store. From what I have seen and heard from others, the install process in the simulator from Xcode is more of a copy/paste action than and update/install action. As long as a clean run works fine, it should be safe to assume that your app store version will work fine as well.

  • Well, I hope it works. I did't found similar cases on internet, so things should work like you said. I think that the only way to know is testing it. Thanks for your help. – Rafael Jan 06 '12 at 16:43
  • @Rafael How did this turn out? I am experiencing the very same problem. Did the app store upgrade process automagically resolve the issue? – Eitan Jul 26 '12 at 16:02

One Suggestion.. if you just want to show SPLASH PNG image then just use default.png name of the splash image in you Resource folder... Don't code anything for splash png image...

iPhone will automatically detect this default.png as a splash image..

  • Yes, I already use Default.png as my splash image name. I created two Default.png files in their respective language folders. I don't know why my splash only update when I delete and install the app. Thanks for your time! – Rafael Jan 06 '12 at 16:41
  • no you must keep in Resource folder directly without any folder structure... if you are using 2 different files then you have to code it... – DShah Jan 06 '12 at 16:51
  • Well, at Xcode if you click on a image, click on "+" at Localization tab and add the localizations you want, XCode automatically create language folders with the images. I just replaced the image for a specif language and its workin from a clean run. (All images have the same name) – Rafael Jan 06 '12 at 18:49
