If I use a Launch screen, my app runs in a nice high resolution on my iPad. If I use Launch Images, I get a much lower resolution. I’m not really sure why. The problem is that a... Lifted since I cannot post there Use a Launch Screen only Launch Screens are set up using autolayout so they certainly should scale nicely esp if you use an image set with 1x, 2x, 3x resolutions in it They work in all new versions of iOS (8 and up) The launch screen automatically selects the right image resolution based on dpi etc So fill in the 1x, 2x, and 3x slots Make sure if your 1x image is 128 x 128 @72 DPI your 2x is 256 x 256 @ 72 DPI and the 3 x is 384 x 384 @ 72 DPI Lock the image center or to edges which ever way suits your needs And make sure the Content mode is set to fill scale etc as you want as that will affect how they work
