Error: You are not allowed to remove the Unity splash screen from your game

I'm trying to run my Unity game in Xcode. When 'Device SDK' is configured in the Unity iOS player setting, everything is fine. But when I switch to 'Simulator SDK' (to use the iOS simulator), the following error occurs in Xcode on startup of my game:

You are using Unity iPhone Basic. You are not allowed to remove the Unity splash screen from your game.

Due to this error the game crashes on startup. I didn't change anything regarding the splash screen in my Unity player settings. So what could be the cause of this problem? I found some results on Google regarding this error, but none seems to help...

PS: I'm using Unity 4.6.3 and Xcode 6.1.1 Those should be the latest versions available.

For anyone else experiencing this issue:

  1. Make a build.
  2. In xCode - select Unity-iPhone target from your Targets list and select the Info tab.
  3. Delete the key UILaunchStoryboardName~iphone from the Custom iOS Target Properties.
  4. Try again, it should work fine.

On Unity 4.6.3f1 I have the same issue. It works fine if I delete the key UILaunchStoryboardName~iphone to run the game as suggested.

Choosing to append or replace does not make any difference for me.

I am having the same setup and problem - i resolved it by rolling back Unity to previous version (i didn't delete it). 4.6.0 works fine.

There seems to be a new error introduced in unity v4.6.1 and is reproducible in v-4.6.3

While creating the build you should not append but do a replace. Maybe this would fix the issue instead of rolling back to a previous version.
