Nativescript-cli: Changes of splash screen are not updated on iOS

Created on 18 Mar 2019 · 4Comments · Source: NativeScript/nativescript-cli

CLI: 5.2.3

When you change splash screen images and deploy project again on iOS device, the changes are not applied, you still see the old splash screen.
Steps:

tns create MyApp --js
tns deploy ios
tns resources generate splashes new.png
tns deploy ios
Expected: The new splash screen is shown on app run.
Actual: The old splash screen is shown on app run.
The same steps work for android.

If I remember correctly there's some system caching going on. I think the only way to reset these reliably is to reboot the device.

This imo is a pretty bad bug related to nativescript... doesn't seem to have with native swift apps.

Solution
Again, thanks to the thread I have referenced above I found a way to solve this issue - name your new image differently from the one there was before in case your new one has the same name as the old one and put it out of the *.xcassets folder to the project directory and reference it in your UIImageView. And that's it.
