Use an Xcode Storyboard to Provide the App’s Launch Screen
In the latest iOS App requirements and guidelines, one of the requirements says:
"Apps for iPhone or iPad must ..... and use an Xcode storyboard to provide the app’s launch screen."
Does this mean that a launch image is not enough and we need to create a splash screen inside the app? or this is already handled by Delphi?
This is an email I received a couple of days ago.
