Why does XCode show launch image warnings?

Question

I get the following warnings in my iPad launch images, but not the iPhone images:

I can't find the text related to the warnings anywhere.

Here are my plist settings:

And my image files:

When I tried "Default-iPad.png" it didn't fix it either.

The image dimensions are 768 x 1024 (portrait) and 1024 x 768 (landscape).

Answer 1

Make your mouse cursor hover over the warning sign and the warning should appear.

It'll tell you that iPad Launch Images should be 768 x 1004 and 1024 x 748
That means you have to remove the status bar from the image.

Answer 2

Here's the deal for launch images which work for all iPads. This should tell you exactly what to do and what you need. You need four images, either the first group or the second one, depending on if your app is set to show the top status bar or not. Notice that the names are the same whether your image has room for the status bar or not.

Answer 3

You can either resize your images to be 20px smaller in height, or you can make the status bar hide during app launch.

In new versions of XCode (I use 4.5.2), there is a checkbox to hide the status bar in the Project > Target > Summary settings, right above the launch image previews:
