__Note__: Extended splashscreen does not require the plugin on Windows (as
opposed to Android and iOS) in case you don't use the plugin API, i.e.
programmatic hide/show.
+### iOS-specific information
+
+There are two mechanisms for displaying a launch screen on iOS:
+
+1. Legacy launch images: images are sized exactly for the device's screen
size. Does not support the iPad Pro 12.9's native resolution or
split-screen/slide-over multitasking.
+
+2. Launch storyboard images: Images are sized based on scale, idiom, and
size classes. Supports all devices, and can be used with
split-screen/slide-over multitasking.
+
+Apple is moving away from legacy launch images. There is no official
support for providing a native-resolution launch image for the iPad pro 12.9 or
for providing launch images that work with split-screen multitasking or
slide-over. If your app doesn't need to support these contexts, then you can
continue to use legacy launch images for as long as you like.
+
+The preferred method of providing launch images is to use a launch
storyboard. For native app developers, the ideal launch storyboard is an
unpopulated version of the app's user interface at launch. For non-native app
developers who don't wish to learn interface builder, however, this plugin
simulates the legacy launch image method as much as is feasible.
