I'm creating an app that supports iOS8 and iOS7. iOS8 supports to use Storyboards as launchimage... But this doesn't work for iOS7. But if I'm using Launch Images from the image.xcassets the launch image isn't loaded any more!

Is it possible to use storyboard-launch images for iOS8 and launch image from the Assets for iOS7?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: As soon as I'm using both, iOS8 LaunchScreens is black!

For Device using iOS 7 you can do as usual, what we used to do using images.xcassets enter image description here

For iOS 8 devices you have two ways..

  1. Simply you can use LaunchScreen.xib. enter image description here this image show how Xcode by defaults sets LaunchScreen.xib for iOS 8 launch screen file.

    1. If you don't want to set LaunchScreen.xib as launch screen file and want to display some launch image as you want in iOS 7 device, so just remove launch screen file name and make it blank(see below image) and delete LaunchScreen.xib file from Xcode. In this case iOS 8 device also takes launch image from launch images from images.xcassets. enter image description here

This is quite a common problem, which happens when we build a new application with xCode 6.2 (and later), and set the deployment target to iOS 7. The lack of LaunchImage causes the app to run in 3.5-inch mode on iOS7 device.

If you specify both LaunchScreen and LaunchImages, the app runs fine on both iOS7 and iOS8.
