Launch Screen storyboard not displaying image

📱 How to fix the issue of Launch Screen storyboard not displaying the image 🚧

So, you've been working on your app's launch screen using the Launch Screen.storyboard file. You've added labels, set up the layout, but for some reason, the image you added just refuses to show up. 😩 Don't worry, we've got you covered! In this guide, we'll address common issues and provide easy solutions to help you get that image displaying on your launch screen. Let's dive in! 💪

💡 Common Issues

Before we jump into the solutions, let's quickly address a couple of common issues that might be causing the problem.

1. 📁 Image not added to the project: Double-check if the image you want to display is actually added to your project. Sometimes, we forget to include the image or mistakenly add it in the wrong location.

2. 🖌️ Incorrect image size or format: Make sure your image is in the correct format (PNG, JPEG) and its dimensions are appropriate for the launch screen. Refer to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for the recommended launch screen image sizes.

🛠️ Solutions

Now that we've covered the common issues, let's move on to the potential solutions that will help you fix the problem of the image not displaying on your launch screen.

Solution 1: Check Image Placement

One possible reason for the image not showing up is incorrect placement on the Launch Screen.storyboard file. Follow these steps to ensure the image is correctly placed:

1. Open your Launch Screen.storyboard file.

2. Select the image view that should display the image.

3. Check the Attributes Inspector tab on the right-hand side panel.

4. Verify that the Image field is correctly set to the image resource you want to display.

Solution 2: Verify Image Constraints

Another reason could be incorrect constraints applied to the image view that is causing the image not to appear. Follow these steps to verify the image constraints:

1. Open your Launch Screen.storyboard file.

2. Select the image view that should display the image.

3. Click on the Resolve Auto Layout Issues icon (looks like a tie fighter) at the bottom-right of the Interface Builder window.

4. Choose Add Missing Constraints from the popup menu.

Solution 3: Clear App Cache and Rebuild

If the above solutions didn't work, it's possible that your app's cache is causing the issue. Clearing the cache and rebuilding the app might help. Follow these steps:

1. Quit Xcode.

2. Delete the app from the simulator or physical device.

3. Clean the build folder in Xcode by clicking Product > Clean Build Folder.

4. Rebuild and run your app.
