Questions & Answers

Upgraded to unity 3.5 today and the newest version of xcode 4.3 and our ipad is updated to IOS 5.1 . Now when i try to build a unity application in xcode i get the following error.
You are using Unity iPhone Basic. You are not allowed to remove the Unity splash screen from your game
(lldb)

The images are there. So I do not understand why we are getting this error. Thank you in advance.

This is biting me in the butt as well.

I’m on the latest versions of Xcode and Unity and with the basic iOS license you get this error out of the box with a new empty project with all default settings.

  • New Unity Project, don’t import any packages.
  • update your bundle identifier in iOS Platform Settings
  • check “Development Build” in iOS Build Settings or you will get a silent error
  • build the xcode project and try to run the app on your device

It will crash with the message “You are using Unity iPhone Basic. You are not allowed to remove the Unity splash screen from your game”.
All the splash screens are there and they even show up when the app launches (but then immediately crashes).

From what I understand is that this is an error with the new splashscreen requirements for xCode 4.3.1. So unity want it’s splash screen there but apple says their splash screen is incorrect. Thus causing the crash.

To complicate things – if you’re like me and do iPhone development all the time the usual fix of downgrading your xCode is not possible. You will need to wait for a unity fix, downgrade to xCode 4.3.0 (or earlier) but you won’t have iOS SDK 5.1.

The Unity3 Version doesn’t allow you to set any splash images, only Unity Pro can do that. And you can’t remove them either. I used an animation to show my splash image. Who cares if the unity logo comes up, after the logo comes then yours will appear.
