Launch image from code (Paintcode)

Question

I have a launch image with text, that I'd like to internationalize (I know that Apple doesn't like launch images with text though...).

It would be great, if I could do this in code, because then the footprint of the app will be much smaller.

Is it possible to do so and how would I access the launch image? I know the the app icon can't be created dynamically by code, thats why I guess the launch image might follow the same rule.

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you mean the Default.png, no you can't.
As you mentioned, you can localize them but it will raise your app size.

One possible solution is to make a really quick app start and a launch image without a text and right after your app launch (-applicationDidFinishLaunching may be appropriate) you display a pseudo splashscreen with your localized text for n seconds.

But keep in mind this isn't nice nor something apple wants.

Answer 2

This can not be done, since the launch image is in the application bundle which is readonly.

You could however present a second screen just after launching, if you make sure you do not do anything in the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: but show you seconds splashscreen it will only show the default.png for a very short time.
