StartupImage property not working?

Thank you for the input. I will have a look at it and hope we can use something of it. We do not use Phonegap for packaging, but use sencha touch for packaging.

I am having the same problems of white screen before it loads. Come on ST2 team PLEASE see to this fix asap. Spent the last day looking for solutions cant show my client and our rent depends on it.
Found a hack using override technique..but its not prety the white screen still shows but not for as long

Out of curiosity can this be solved using HTML5 localstorage?

I would prefer to use Sencha for packaging as well, however it never worked as needed.

The response from Sencha support was to use a 3rd party packager.

And yes - i too have several months of my staffs salaries depending on being able to deliver.

3rd party packaging I'm prepared to do for native apps. What about web apps, this project Im working on at the moment is a web app.

Is it atleast possible to change the color of the white screen? Is it pre launch config?

Architect Build tested:

• Build: 613

Project Type:

• Touch 2.x

Description:

• An Sencha application has a startupImage property to show an image during application startup. Even if the startupImage property is filled, the image does not show during startup.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Made different images, used only low resolution, tested it with an iPhone and iPad.

The result that was expected:

• Expected to see a startupimage. Even the default sencha resource startup images don't work.

The result that occurs instead:

• Only see a white screen during app startup

HELPFUL INFORMATIONScreenshot, Project, or Video:

• Contents of the startupImage object:
  {'320x460': 'resources/startup/320x460.jpg',
  '640x920': 'resources/startup/640x920.png',
  '768x1004': 'resources/startup/768x1004.png',
  '748x1024': 'resources/startup/748x1024.png',
  '1536x2008': 'resources/startup/1536x2008.png',
  '1496x2048': 'resources/startup/1496x2048.png'}

Possible fix:

• not provided

Operating System:

• OSX 10.7, Windows 7, Xcode iOS Simulator, iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) iPad 2 (iOS 5.1.1), Samsung Galaxy S (Android 4.0.4)

Still can't get it to work. Is there anyone else who has a solution? I keep getting a white screen during startup. No image is displayed. Have tried all solutions in the forum found so far.

[P.verbrugge]

Did some extra research:
Seems like the startupimage is also not working when packaging the app with PhoneGap. Also the standard command line rendered project that has default startupimages set, doesn't work. In all cases no startup image is loaded.

We packaged with Phonegap for iOS and Android. Startup images were defined on the Phonegap side of things.

The startupImage property is only used when an app is bookmarked to the home screen on an iOS device through a website(docs here). It does not set the startup image if you are packaging the app using the command line tools, Architect, or other third party software such as Phonegap.

If you are using Phonegap you can set the default images through xcode or through eclipse for android apps by replacing the current splash screen.

However setting the startup image for a packaged app through Architect or the command line tools is currently not supported.
