Your binary is not optimized for iPhone 5, LaunchImage {320,568}

I want to validate my app in Xcode but it keeps failing for some odd reason, and tells me this:

iTunes Store operation failed Your binary is not optimized for iPhone 5 - New iPhone apps and app updates submitted must support the 4-inch display on iPhone 5 and must include a launch image referenced in the Info.plist under UILaunchImages with a UILaunchImagesize and so on...

I tried to add launch images, I removed them, added as an array in info.plist, but nothing seems to work.

_________EDIT__________

I solved the problem by changing the Launch Screen File in the General tab to Main.StoryBoard

Using storyboard launch screens won't work for iOS 7 and below. – Almo

You have to include launch images of the right size for the various screen sizes: 3.5, 4, 4.7, and 5.5 inches.

Here's a list of the resolutions:

And here's an app that will create all these for you, and then you just dump the resuling .xcassets into your project and it works. Very well worth the $2, and I am not affiliated with that developer.

Here is what worked for me after getting mad for 2 days:

Set Deployment Target to 7.0 Add a new splash image of size 320x568 and name it as Default-568h.png. Add the below code in your Info.plist file.

<key>UILaunchImages</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key>
            <string>7.0</string>
            <key>UILaunchImageName</key>
            <string>Default-568h</string>
            <key>UILaunchImageOrientation</key>
            <string>Portrait</string>
            <key>UILaunchImageSize</key>
            <string>{320, 568}</string>
        </dict>
    </array>

Points To Ponder

My App was completely in Landscape Mode but I had to use this Portrait sized image of the size given above. I had to use 320x568 size which is (1x) although every other resource on my project was retina based i.e (2x) One more thing: I did not used Asset Catalogues for Launch Images. I was using a custom sequence of splash screens via my code but still I had to follow above steps to get through this error.
