After booting the launch Image resizes to half the width and won't disappear

Question

I have a strange issue.

After my App reboots, my Launch Image won't disappear and my initial view of my Main Storyboard won't show. Instead of disappearing the launch image resizes to half the width...

This started happening after I added a launch image. When I manually remove the launch image, it doesn't matter, the App still shows the launch image, even after removing it from XCode.

Here is screenshots of what is happening:

Anyone seen this before and knows how to fix this?

EDIT: (Additional info) I could no longer select my main storyboard in the project summary. All other storyboards were visible but not the main storyboard.

Also as a result of that, the app was working fine in debugger, but it would crash straight away when it was distributed over TestFlight. I wouldn't even get TestFlight logs. The following CrashReport on the device directed me into the right way:

I think it is problem with Autolayout and wrong Constraints in your Storyboard file. — mdziadkowiec, May 20 '13 at 20:12
I had a look but cannot find anything. I cleared the initial storyboard view completely, but that didn't help much.. Any advise what I can look at? How come the Launch Image is still visible eventhough I removed it from XCode? Is there a way to make sure all references to the images are removed? — Bocaxica, May 20 '13 at 21:03
I think I found it, the default images did not have the right size, because I exported them again from Photoshop with the wrong dimensions (no retina dimensions but old iphone dimensions). After re-exporting the images, it seems to be resolved. — Bocaxica, May 20 '13 at 21:46

This is where I found the answer:

XCode 4.2 MainStoryBoard Not Found

The reference to my MainStoryboard file somehow got corrupted. This wasn't showing in the Simulator (other than the above symptoms) but when distributing the App over TestFlight, it would crash the App even before [TestFlight takeoff:] took place (meaning I had no logging at all in TestFlight).

I had to delete the references to the original MainStoryBoard.storyboard and put it back in the project by dragging it from finder back into xcode

Seems a bit lame to answer my own question, but anyway, for other people who might run into the same problem, hopefully this points you in the right direction.
