Black screen instead of launch image on iPad

Recently I faced same issue with my App designed only for iPhone , I had the problem where the launch images would not appear in iPad (On iPad ios >= 7.0.x the launch image is not showing up I get black screen while app is loading (in iPad ios < 7.0.x it works fine )).

I don’t face this issue of launch image with iPhone worked fine in all iOS versions.

Solution: Is to update to asset catalog to manage your app’s images and target only iOS 6 and Prior.

Steps :

Step 1:

Update to Asset Catalog

Step 2:

Select to Migrate

Step 3: on the top right corner click on the ‘Attribute Inspector’ icon. Here you can set the Target OS for the Launch Images.

Uncheck the iOS 7 check boxes for iPhone

Uncheck the iOS 7 check boxes for iPhone, Now you should be able to see the launch images for iPad on iOS >= 7.0.x.
