Is there any possibility of showing home screen as background while the app loads my transparent launch image?

I am trying to show the home screen or springboard in the background of launch image.

But what I actually get is in iOS 7

iOS 7

and in iOS 6.1

iOS 6

Is there any possibility of showing home screen or springboard in background while launching the app?

Solution

  • You can't do it. And any home screen screenshot you bundle with your app is never going to match a users actual home screen. As you've seen iOS covers the home screen when an app is launched even if you don't provide a launch image, and if you provide an incorrectly shaped one your app will be rejected at submission.

    Just make a launch image as recommended by apple, with a minimal version of your interface on it. It's not a "splash screen" or an opportunity to shove your logo in the users face.
