xcode - iOS Launch screen code not running

Question

I heard about the new feature which xcode 6 brings, that allows you to make a storyboard as a launchscreen. Now..

Is there a way to control UI elements on the launchscreen story board via a viewcontroller? (to show a loading screen or something)

I tried it, I simply did a println("Here's the view loaded on the loadingscreen") in the viewdidload on the controller which is referred to the view in the launchscreen story board, but there's no output at all..

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You're not doing anything wrong.

No code is associated with the launch screen. You can't run any logic. It is purely there so that you can use AutoLayout to layout the launch screens for different sizes of device.
