splash (launch image) in landscape mode?

First thing is no one is gonna know from outside the application that application is gonna run in portrait or landscape.

If at all you still want to view the splash screen in landscape mode you have to design the image in such a way as we cannot change the behaviour of the splash screen.

Instead of designing the image as 320X480, design it as 480X320 and your problem will get solved.

landscape splash screen for iphone apps?

iPhone splash screen is only Portrait. iPad has landscape too because iPad home screen auto rotates unlike iPhone's.

In order to achieve such a behavior you can make your first screen identical to the splash screen ( add the same image on the background) . So it will look like a landscaped splash screen while you are loading the resources needed for your app but you can't start the app in landscape mode.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Launch Image / Splashscreen differences and which one is required?

You should not see the default.png as a splash screen. And you senior developer is wrong.
Just start an app without a default.png on an old device, like an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4, and you will see a black screen.

The default.png is meant as a placeholder while your app is launching. Apple suggests you use a screen shot of your app’s main view without any content. For example, the Notes app will launch with an empty list of notes, and the text will fill in once the app has launched.

The comment in the HIG about displaying a splash screen is there because some apps present a splash screen with a company name longer than was needed for the app to start and Apple does not want this because it does not make for a very good user experience.

So in short, yes you should provide a default.png as a placeholder for the time it takes your app to be launched, but never as a commercial splash screen.

Splash screen is landscape although the whole game is in the portrait mode. SpriteBuilder + cocos2d

The .plist, I checked, was actually a .plist file generated by cocos2d framework or SpriteBuilder. I also must change Supported interface orientationsin the native Xcode .plist file - I just didn't see it and thought, that another one .plist file is the only one, that can be.

Do you need a landscape iPad launch image for app thats just portrait

You don't need to have a landscape default image even if you do support landscape.

If you are only in portrait, then a single image will do.
