Well done, I don’t know if there is any other framework that let you add a splash screen easier than the iPhone SDK or not. I never see it.

What you want to do is just creating your splash screen image in PNG format which have 320×480 resolution for portrait or 480×320 if your app is running on landscape orientation.

Then name it “Default.png”, please note that you have to name it “Default.png” not “default.png”. It’s case sensitive.

Then just put the file into your project and it’s DONE!

You will see your splash screen until your first view was loaded successfully.

Short & Sweet?

I’m not quite sure why it’s so easy than I ever think of. But it is!

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setIdleTimerDisabled:YES];

It just disables the Idle Timer of iPhone OS for my application.

Sweet!

It just likes what you did by running the app and hold the stand-by button then push on the home button.

When you run this code, it will capture the current screenshot and add into the Camera Roll.

It’s not yet included in the official SDK but you can get it run easily.

@interface UIApplication (Extended)
-(void) _writeApplicationSnapshot;
@end
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] _writeApplicationSnapshot];

Yo!
