title: Xcode 5 & Asset Catalog: How to reference the LaunchImage?
body: <p>I am using Xcode 5's Asset Catalog, and I would like to use my <code>LaunchImage</code> as the background image of my home view (a pretty common practice to make the transition from 'loading' to 'loaded' look smooth).</p>
  
  <p>I would like to use the same entry in the Asset Catalog to save space and not have to replicate the image in two different Image Sets.</p>
  
  <p>However, calling:</p>
  
  <pre><code>UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"LaunchImage"]; //returns nil
  </code></pre>
