black splash screen on iOS

See original GitHub issue

I am getting black screen instead of splash screen in iOS. Im not sure what I did wrong. I managed to make it work for android. I am using xcode 9.0.1 There is only example for customizing splashscreen on iOS, and I didn’t understand it. so this is what I did:

In my project on xcode general under App Icons and Launch Images I pressed User Asset Catalog and then pressed Migrate when prompted.

On Launch Screen File I deleted the line LaunchScreen and left it blank. I have no LaunchScreen.xib. Within the Images.xcassets there is now the option LaunchImage , so I dragged splash screen:

Ok, I solved it by clearing the Launch Screen File field. It contained the name of the xib which i deleted. After clearing it and rebuilding the project, my custom splash screen was shown.

I realized the image I was trying to use was way too big. After I reduced the file size of the image I was using for the background of my launch screen, everything worked as expected. Not sure if this is the same issue, but I was getting the black launch screen so perhaps this will help someone else.
