Hello Graham, In the Standalone Applications Settings do you have it set to build for iPad as well as iPhone? I’m not at all experienced with the new splash options or how the setting work together… just an idea. -- Scott > On May 22, 2020, at 1:25 PM, Graham Samuel via use-livecode >

My x3 splash is already smaller than the largest real requirement for an iPhone, 1242 x 2688. Mine is only 2048 x 2732. So you could argue that my x3 splash should be even larger than I’ve supplied. I don’t see why the system doesn’t pick the smallest size that will fit - so for my iPhone XS

Oh, I see. If the provisioning profile is of type "AppStore", then it is a Distribution profile, so you will not be able to use this profile for installing the app directly to your device. You need an iOS Development profile for being able to install the app on the device. Regards, Panos On
