Xamarin iOS LaunchScreen with gradient background

Question

Hello, I am using an image on the Xamarin iOS LaunchScreen (which combines a gradient background effect and a logo). But I want to change this style and use a gradient background and logo separately. Do I have a chance to find some solution?

Hello @Hakob Hovhannisyan ,

Usually, a CAGradientLayer is used to draw a color gradient over its background color. But you can't run code or use custom classes in LaunchScreen.storyboard. As noted in Launch Screens for Xamarin.iOS Apps - Xamarin | Microsoft Learn : A Storyboard used as a Launch Screen must include only simple, built-in UI elements and cannot do any calculations or derive from a custom class.

I want to change this style and use a gradient background and logo separately

You can design a gradient image, then add an imageview on the LaunchScreen.storyboard, its image should be this gradient image, and fill the entire screen. Then you can add an another imagview to display your logo.
