Define iPad interface orientation splash screens

Posted on May 3, 2010

Did you know your iPad™ Application must be capable of launching in any interface orientation?

The days of 1 Default.png are over!

The following options are available for your iPad™ Application:

  • Default-PortraitUpsideDown.png (takes precedence over Default-Portrait.png if included)
  • Default-LandscapeLeft.png (takes precedence over Default-Landscape.png if included)
  • Default-LandscapeRight.png (takes precedence over Default-Landscape.png if included)
  • Default-Portrait.png (required – Specifies the generic portrait version of the launch image.)
  • Default-Landscape.png (required – Specifies the generic landscape version of the launch image. )
  • Default.png (not recommended for iPad™ Application usage – allows you to keep using Default.png for the iPhone™ version of your app!)

    Have these files in my APP.

    Also info.plist has 4 orientations listed.

    But splash screen only appears correctly in portrait and landscape.

    If for instance I turn portrait upside down then the splash screen appears in portrait but upside down. Orientation corrects itself immediately in my app but it looks odd that splash screen is shown incorrectly. Any ideas??
