After the migration request that Apple has been requesting since this summer. I have successfully implemented the use of LaunchScreen with storyboard.

But this is not without consequences.

It has an impact on the displayed UI. I was wondering if it was possible to continue using the LaunchScreen storyboard but still display the old way with a black bar above and below when displaying the UI after login. This is because I have a large number of screens to edit.

As example, if FinishedLaunching I use these line:

mWindow = new UIWindow(new CGRect(0, 10, 320.0f, 569.0f));
mWindow.MakeKeyAndVisible()..

Instead of

mWindow = new UIWindow(UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds)

I can see my UI rendered correctly. But it appears in the upper left corner instead of being resized to full screen.

Thanks.

The black bar was your bug. Because you had no launch storyboard, the app was being displayed in a special letterboxed mode, occupying only part of the screen. (See for example When upgrading to support iPhone X, font display smaller on older devices) Now you have fixed the bug at last and your app is displaying correctly, occupying the entire screen.

  • It's not quite a bug. This is the old way of working before Apple decided to handle Launch Screens with multiple screen sizes with storyboards. Now that Apple requires using the LaunchScreen as a storyboard. Do you know if is there a way that I don't need to convert all UI screens to be resizable? Thanks. – Jean-Pierre Poulin Aug 06 '20 at 16:02
  • It _is_ quite a bug. You were supposed to have converted to fullscreen long ago. Accepting the letterboxed layout was just a lazy way out. You were doing this wrong and now you're caught; Apple now _requires_ that your view fill the screen. So you didn't do it earlier like you were supposed to, and you _must_ do it now. There is no "way that I don't need to." – matt Aug 06 '20 at 16:10
