iPhone 4 Splash screen glitch?

I created a new Splash screen for the retina display of 640x960px but it seems that once the app load, the image shrink of about 40px in height and then quickly get the right size expanding 40px up.

Basically the space of the statusbar.

Everything is fine with the 320x480 old size.

Anyone noticed the same?

  • I found my way around having two images:

    Default@2x.png (960x640)

    Default.png (320x480)

  • Same here with a full screen app. I've tried :

    640x960 -> bad

    640x920 -> bad

    320x480 -> OK

    320x460 -> bad

  • ha, after reading what's written here, I've modified my tiapp.xml :

    <statusbar-hidden>true</statusbar-hidden>
    <fullscreen>true</fullscreen>
    

    and did a full rebuild, and now, my 640x960 splash screen is perfect.

  • I had similar sizing and stretching issues with the splash screen. This issue is very noticable if you have a static navigation bar at the top of your image, because it will get pushed up into the status bar and display behind it. I solved it by leaving a transparent slice at the top of the image for the status bar.

    • For the 320x480 Default.png image leave 19-20px of transparency at the top.

    • For the 640x960 Default@2x.png image leave 38-40px of transparency at the top.
