iPad Pro support via Launch Image

I have an iOS app that uses Launch Images and supports all devices, except the iPad Pro.


Now, I want to add iPad Pro support to my app, to have 120Hz and iPad Pro native resolution features.


This, however, seems no longer possible if your app uses launch images.


There is no launch image for iPad Pro in Xcode.

(It was removed, and will never return to Xcode.)

Modern Xcode does two different ways of launch graphics:

  1. launch image (asset catalog.)
  2. launch screen (storyboard.)


And when doing launch images (in an asset catalog), it means no iPad Pro support.


It would be better not to force developers to choose between using Launch Images and iPad Pro support.

Keep in mind that some devices are redundant when it comes to certain elements involving screen support. In your example, those devices may be 'missing', but that doesn't necessarily indicate they are not supported. As an example, the 9.7" iPP is the same as the iPad Air.


Edit - about launch images...see LaunchImage doesn't support of the 11-inch iPad Pro
