Hi, The launchscreen section in Xcode 16 RC keeps disappearing no matter what. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

I submitted a bug report over a week ago about this problem.

Same issue here, trying to set Launch Screens via Storyboard & Swift UI View method doesn't seem to work, only way I can get a launch screen to appear is setting a Launch Image via the UILaunchScreen method, as you say in the Target > General section, setting a Launch Screen File doesn't save.

<key>UILaunchScreen</key>
<dict>
	<key>UIColorName</key>
	<string></string>
	<key>UIImageName</key>
	<string></string>
</dict>

I can get a launch image to work, but not any of the other properties like background color. And the image doesn't fill the safe areas so it looks bad.

Looks like XCode fails to edit the info.plist by itself.

You can add the UILaunchStoryboardName manually to get past this issue.

There are detailed steps here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/79164493/5561658

If anyone from Apple reads this: This is a bug and should be fixed.
