Support creation of iOS Launch story boards

[Jim]

The appbuilder "resource create" function is brilliant and a huge time saver when creating app icons and splash screens. However, newer versions of iOS that support multitasking require apps to either have a launch story board, or to disable support for multitasking in info.plist. (https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/20405). It would be nice if appbuilder apps could support split view and and slideover multitasking by using "resource create" to also create a simple launch story board instead of or in addition to multiple splash screen images.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your feedback. If you haven't been able to find the feature request on our portal - here it is.

Additionally, I am not sure if this will make it to our near future road-map as the interest in it is not that high at this point. Still, we have the item in the backlog and will plan its future accordingly in the upcoming months.
