Apple Rejection: Invalid Launch Image

Does anyone know what this message means from Apple: Invalid Launch Image - Your app contains a launch image with a size modifier that is only supported for apps built with the iOS 6.0 SDK or later. Confused to what they are talking about.

Hi Alex thank you for your reply. I have never encountered this issue before and I haven't changed how I have created my splash page to other apps I have developed, so not sure what to do here. In my project I have a Default.png which is 320 x 480 and I have a [email protected] which is 640 x 960. Again unsure what to do.

Just had a thought, could it be the config file, as I probably didn't update it before submitting therefore it may have showed the previous splash screen which was too large.

Well, I dont think that Apple will be happy with an app without a launch image, but dont need the extra splash screen.

Resubmitted with updated config and still rejected. I've been told I have to update my Xcode and build app for iOS 6. Can anyone confirm this is the case.

just wondering: how can you upload a new binary and get rejected after like 5 minutes? Which Xcode version are you on?

wow, only metadata updates usually result in correspondence so fast. uploading a binary and in 5 minutes they reject you. probably need to update your xcode.

im getting the same denial. Invalid Launch Image - Your app contains a launch image with a size modifier that is only supported for apps built with the iOS 6.0 SDK or later. I've been reading on some blogs and they mention the new iphone 5 screen as the problem. One person said the following: All you need to do is create a 4" sized launch image, and iOS 6 will recognise that and launch your app with the full screen size. Older versions of iOS will ignore the strange size launch image, and continue to work as they always have. You do need to upgrade to Xcode 4.5 to add this image, but you can leave the "Deployment Target" for your project at 5.0 or 4.3 or whatever. Great but how do I create a 4" screen and do I just enter it into the BT_Art images or do I need to enter it in the code. If so wHere?

In xcode 4.5 you have 3 launch image fields instead of 2. 1: 320 x 480 2: 640 x 960 (Retina 3.5-inch) 3: 640 x 1136 (Retina 4-inch) they have the following default names that are needed: 1:Default.png 2:[email protected] 3:[email protected] All in the folder "BT_Art" If you dont ugrade to the newest XCode (do not understand why) maybe it solves the problem if you just add the above 4-inch launch image with that specific name?

I'm working off 4.5 and see the [email protected] in the "BT_Art" folder but still getting the error. Is there something I need to adjust with the [email protected] screen?

Actually I just checked again and I'm working of version 4.2. Do you think upgrading to 4.5 will fix the problem. or should I upgrade to the newest version.

What do you mean with "still getting the error" ? I thought Apple rejected your app because of this missing launch image? Updating to the newest xcode is always a good idea.

I am going to down load the newer version 4.5, can't do newer because Id have to update my software. I took out the [email protected] file for now. My submission is free on itunes for the next month to let some of my colleagues download and provide feedback before I start charging so I have time to update and resubmit before then. Download was successful. In waiting for review status. Thanks for your help.

just realized the "review process" can take a week and if I make changes to the binary it will start all over. I may just see how this on goes and do an update later if I need the 4" retina screen image. This is my first app and the whole process has all quite the learning experience. Thanks for your help.

BandO is right! Just delete the 568@2x image. This happened to me once before. I deleted it and all is good!
