Same problem. @suraneti Have you find any workaround yet?

There has been some tricks to this problem. Such as http://arsenkin.com/launch_screen_image_cache.html but they are not working for iOS 13.

[suraneti]

@Frans-L the solution that I did in Xcode.

1. Clean project (Product -> Clean).
2. Delete any folders in the DerivedData folder.
3. Try to move something in the Storyboard file and save.
   (this will update version of Storyboard file when you move something each time, so I just move a logo to somewhere and move back).

If those step doesn't work try to create Image set in Images.xcassets and then import in Storyboard instead of an image file path.

@suraneti
Thanks for the help!. Unfortunately, steps 1-3 didn't work for me. The launch screen is updated still only after a user has deleted and redownloaded the app.
I have also tried to rename launch screen images / image sets, haven't helped either.

What do you mean ".... then import in Storyboard instead of an image file path"?

[suraneti]

@Frans-L I mean use image sets instead of an image file path, but you already try.

Could you try this solution.

[Frans-L]

@suraneti Yeah, I tried. I still haven't found any solution :/
