Default.png images and iPad

I'm about to submit my first iPad app, and I have 2 questions regarding to Default.png images.

  1. I would prefer a "splash screen" showing some artwork of my app, instead of the UI as if it was loaded, the app is a bit heavy and I've seen the users dispair when the UI is apparently loaded but it's not working. Does开发者_运维百科 anyone know if apple is accepting apps with "splash screens"?

  2. I want to provide a Default-X.png for every orientation, I've read the iPad programming guide, my question is, is "Default-LandscapeLeft" a Default image rotated 90 degrees clockwise, and "Default-LandscapeRight" rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise?

I'm asking this because I don't have an iPad yet to test this on.

Thank you a lot in advance.


  1. Some are accepted, some are not, it doesn't all depend on that. However, it is recommended that you avoid the heavy loading times that would require a splash-screen. You could find a compromise by showing an image of a faded-out version of your working UI. If you need initial loading activity, consider deferring this loading stage after the Default.png is displayed, and use a view with similar aspect, but with some sort of progress indicator.

  2. You don't need an iPad to test it, you can use the simulator, it can be rotated.


Take a look in the App Store, most apps use a splash screen rather than a UI capture, despite what the UI guidelines say.

And you are correct about the Default.png layouts, although left and right can be the same image if you wish.


About Interface Orientation, I have not tested that yet. But if I imagine the iPad in normal portrait position (being the exit button at the bottom)

I would think that Default-LandscapeLeft is iPad turned counter-clockwise while Default-LandscapeRight is clockwise.

Unless you have a clock which is turning backwards... :-)

Cheers
