# UILaunchScreen

The user interface to show while an app launches.

## Discussion

Discussion You use this key to define the launch screen that the system displays while your app launches. If you need to provide different launch screens in response to being launched by different URL schemes, use UILaunchScreens instead. note: Use this key to configure the user interface during app launch in a way that doesn’t rely on storyboards. If you prefer to use storyboards, use UILaunchStoryboardName instead.
