Is it possible to localize the Launchscreen in storyboard?
I have an image for English and for French, I need to localize them in Launchscreen.
Please this is important to solve this issue by any means.
If there is any tips or trick, please let me know...
UPDATE
#Martin R This topic is not duplicate, you are refereing a solution of older xcode.
Older xcode we used to use Default.png, but newer xcode we use LaunchScreen.storyboard.
How can we localize the LaunchScreen.storyboard if I have two images of 2 different languages?
I had the same problem, I find all the documents has not found the contents of the localization of Launchscreen.
Here my situation:
The document of Launch screen (Launch Screen) suggest using static images:
Avoid including text on your launch screen. Because launch screens are
static, any displayed text won’t be localised.
It’s best to use an Xcode storyboard for your launch screen, but you can provide a set of static images if necessary. Create static
images in different sizes for different devices, and be sure to
include the status bar region.
It does not say whether the picture can be localized,so I localised the launch image resources like this: Launch image multiple language. But I failed like this Can't get correct localized launch images on IOS 9.
It's launch images can't be localized: Localized launch images were never officially supported?

Is landscape splash screen supported in iPhone? I don't see the option like I do with iPad, as such:
That's Visual Studio?
Because I am able to see the iPhone Landscape option in Xamarin Studio.
Try switching on and off the "Assets Catalog" dropdown to see if that helps.
Also if that doesn't work you could change at anytime from Launch image to Launch screen and there you can configure your Storyboard for all different sizes and orientations.
Note: will check later in VS.
You could add them to your assets. I don't think image assets are rendered properly in VS. It doesn't show specialized image for iPhone, iPad, watch etc. Only the generic one.
Another thing you might want to consider is using launch story board and not launch images. That's the new way of doing it or the suggested way by Apple. You have far more control on it.
Customizing launch images - Manual approach
Open LaunchImage.launchimage and change the default launch images with your own using the proper resolution for each image (e.g., Default-568h#2x.png should be 640px x 1136px). If your images have different file names then open Contents.json and change the key filename for each image.
Xcode WYSIWYG approach
Drag and drop your Assets.xcassets into Xcode (7.1 or newer version). In the opened window choose LaunchImage and add the proper image for each iOS version and device. Close Xcode and rebuild your Xamarin app to use the new launch images.

I have a brand new Swift 2.0 XCode 7 Storyboard based application.
Target is set to 9.2. I'm currently supporting any device with GPS that can run ios 9.2
I started with the Tabbed View Template and I'm working in wAny and hAny and a single Storyboard.
It works fine in the simulator on a bunch of phones, both orientations and works fine on my 6s plus, 6s, 6 plus and a 5.
But for some users the scaling is wrong and everything comes out squished.
Even in landscape mode the TabBar Icons are very close to each other.
Narrower than even on my 6s plus in portrait.
I believe this is caused by my application not having a Launch bitmap.
My understanding is there are two ways to implement this.
Launcher .XIB/.NIB with half a dozen specific sized bitmaps attached. Or a StoryBoard Launcher with ... exactly what.
The "Or StoryBoard" is a little vague. But I wanted to keep things using the modern approach since this app is new and targeted users tend to have the latest device.
So I created my Launch Image set and tried to attached it to the UIImageView in the Launcher StoryBoard. It won't list items that are tagged as "Launcher Image Set". It will show other Image Sets and Icons. But not the ones specifically for Launcher. It shows an "L" in the xcassets list next to the Launcher Image set. I believe I have the build project setting set correctly and it looks perfect on many of the same exact devices.
After some digging, I read that if you use the "StoryBoard" method you don't need the 6 or so bitmaps anymore. You can put anything in the Storyboard Launcher View and treat it just like you would treat your main storyboard.
So I did that. I just centered a small image.png file in the View of the Launchers Storyboard. Works on all simulations and my iPhone 6s plus. I did not pin it to the edges because that would mess up the aspect ratio of the image.
A very small set of users still have the issue and one of them even uninstalled and reinstalled.
I tried playing with setting phone Zoomed, Normal, Text Size, Bold etc. They all work. Users also don't have anything out of the ordinary on these system settings.
So first, do I need the 6 proper sized bitmaps or not? I read conflicting info on this.
If I want to use the 6 images on a storyboard how to I get them in the UIImageView of the Launcher StoryBoard if they won't list? Should I put them in a regular image set. Does the "Launcher Image Set" only work for the for the Launcher.XIB?
If it's not the Launcher window, what else could it be causing this?
I know I could create a XIB/NIB with the 6 bitmaps. But that seems like I'm going backwards and I don't care about old OS versions or older phones.
I think I found my answer. When using a Storyboard Launcher you cannot use a "Launch Image Set" for your Launcher Storyboard. You have to use an Image Set.
This is the best Video I found that covers it A-Z.

It also didn't fix my initial problem. Which I'll post separately. It scales correct in Portrait but not in Landscape for hand full of users. Using the same hardware as others that it works fine on.
Have any where a where have Localization of icon and Launch screen in iPhone? If Yes.
I read and read and read but i didn't find a example to do this.
Example XCode Please :)
Icons and launch screens can't be localized, even with the new kind of launch screens that are based on storyboards instead of images
http://oleb.net/blog/2014/08/replacing-launch-images-with-storyboards/
you can click the picture on the left of xcode,and on the right side of xcode,click localizable to localize the image,and you will notice that there are folders like en.lproj,in the folder ,change the picture with the english ones.
Localizing Launch Screen with the help of Multiple LaunchScreen Storybaords and Plist.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/45436837/1609259
Xcode
Create InfoPlist.strings file and localise. ie Name it as a the country name + version
App Store Connect & Developer Programme n.b. you can see which icon performs best with App Store Connect (ASC) when you're app (hopefully) launches you can run A/B/C testing to see which one performs best and use that one in conjunction with localisation data offered by ASC
Hope this has helped!
I'm trying to design a xib using XCode4, but when I put down an image view that displays an #2x image xcode doesn't preview it correctly (it displays a missing image icon).
It works correctly when the app is run though.
As an example: I add a UIImageView to my view and set the image property to test.png.
In my project I add a file named test#2x.png.
In XCode 3.2 this image would have correctly displayed in IB, and the #2x version would have automatically half-sized on non-retina devices.
However in IB in XCode4 the image does not display.
Is anyone else experiencing this? If they are, it's a pretty massive issue.
Why not just add both images? AFAIK UIImage isn’t guaranteed to work like that.
I always use both sizes, having the #2x ones first, and unretining them using the free app unretiner from app store, and drop both sizes to the project. When referring to an image, instead of writing test.png or test#2x.png, I write test and xCode finds sizes to the corresponding devices, but YES! in IB, the image won't be displayed in this way, just a question marked blue screen; but that works fine when running the app.
I've had this app on app store with no problem until iphone 4 came out.
My home page has an image covering the whole screen.
UIImageView added in interface builder, and image path added in interface builder.
In all phones this image shows up; however, the image does not show up in any iphone 4, and instead the user sees a blank screen like the following:
Anybody knows what's causing this? thanks
.
I only have 1 set of images with
normal resolution
This problem only happens to one of
the images in my application which is
the background for my home page
the graphic file should not be
corrupted because the exact same
image works for all other iphones and
itouches
my image is a jpg file
image size is 480x270, which in
interface builder i make it 563x330 to display only a part of it
I have no outlet to this uiimageview
so it cannot be changed in code
With devices with the new retina display, pixel sizes are different and you have to check for the following, in particular:
Do you provide two alternatives of the image, one at old resolution, one at double resolution (named myimage.png and myimage#2x.png)
If not, does your image scale up well in size with CoreGraphics's algorithms (there are some pathological cases, though you'd have to be quite unlucky)?
Have you checked what happens (at both resolutions) when your UIImageView size changes?
Is it just one image, or all?
Is your graphics file corrupted?
It's hard to tell if it's any of these points, or something else, because you provide so damn little detail, that I stick to generic things. Comment below (or edit your question) if you need more help.
I've got two things to add to FXs thorough answer:
Considering the information you added, I would take a look at your code for setting up that UIImageView. Perhaps you use some sort of detection code or something which wasn't implemented correctly.
Would you mind sharing some code snippets?
According to Apple's documentation, you don't need to provide the ".png" extension as of iOS 4. Perhaps that is causing the problem.
Again, code snippets would help here. Specifically where you deal with loading up your image file.
EDIT:
Try re-saving the image and replacing it. I've occasionally corrupted files in Photoshop. This has to do with file extensions and how Mac OS ignores them, but Photoshop still uses them.
Also, it could have to do with where the image is in your XCode project. Check what Group it is in. Make sure everything is in place and then Clean and Rebuild. Remove the app from the iPhone4 (reboot) and try reinstalling.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
If this was my code, I'd write a tiny app just to display the image in question. If it still fails it would be easier to get help debugging the problem.
