React Native iOS: Launch Screen used instead of Launch Image in build

I have deleted the default Launch Screen file that React Native created and instead created a Launch Image. When I run the app in the simulator the Launch Image is being displayed but when I archive the project and open it via Testflight it still shows the old React Native Launch screen. Am I missing something? Is there a cache that I'm missing? I have cleaned the project but that didn't help.

Solution

  • Renaming the launch image to 'LaunchImage2' or something similar will resolve this issue. I am going to do further research and update this answer if I find out where the original Launch Image could be persisting after deletion.
