Xcode's default Images.xcassets file has a slot for LaunchImage, where for a portrait iPhone app there are 5 possible slots.
According to the documentation, to get an image properly sized from the xcassets file, just use [UIImage imageNamed:].
However, running the following code on iPhone Retine (4-inch) simulator:
UIImage *splashImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"LaunchImage"];
NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromCGSize(splashImage.size));
produces the following output:
{320, 480}
which is obviously the wrong size.
I have made sure that the mappings in the xcassets file are correct, and have confirmed all dimensions. It also seems that I cannot request a specific image from a given set in the xcassets file, meaning I cannot do:[UIImage imageNamed:@"LaunchImageR4"].
And since the files are added to an xcassets file, I also do not have access to the raw image files, so a custom solution seems out of the question.
Does anyone have any idea how I would solve this issue?
