iPad splashscreen problem

I made a splashscreen for my app (1024x768) and name it nameofmyapp-landscape.png, but when I build for iOS I keep getting an error that no splashscreen was included. Anyone had issues with this?

Hi,

I have seen this problem too but I don't remember how I solved it. Maybe by adding the portrait splash screen as well (I used the same picture).

Kind regards,

Mark

Tried that, no go. I do have the education version so I know that I should be seeing the LC splash that incorporates my graphic, but no dice yet.

try putting it in the same folder as your stack, then repoint LC to it in the iOS standalone settings.

be sure to check the initial orientation settings to landscape
be sure not to have weird characters in your file name and to add it through the choice on the settings page
no clue about education version. it worked for me when it was a personal version

Thanks for the suggestion. Still not finding it apparently.

Hi,

Have you noticed that the standalone is still built successfully? Have you actually tried to run your standalone? This might be a bogus error.

Kind regads,

Mark

Yeah, I've run it in the simulator and on the iPad. Just a black screen until the app loads.

if you don't put any splash screen at all, LC should add its own "education" one.
If it doesn't, did you check that you have the last versions (LC, XCODE) ? Some recent version had problems with splash screens.
Redownload it ?

I'm on LC 5.0.2, and just downloaded xcode yesterday....

Read page 12 of the release notes. If you're using the educational version your image needs to be square.

Thanks. Tried that, and now at least the splash shows in portrait. From the looks of the release notes, that's all they have implemented?

Oh well, I plan to upgrade in any case.

doesnt sound too good. Is livecode so buggy?
