Use Storyboard for launch screen instead of static images in iOS project template

Since Apple really doesn't like us to use images for launch screens, and it's more work to support (new) devices with different screen sizes:

1. Delete resources/LaunchImage.launchimage
2. Drop Launch Screen.storyboard into resources/

3. Add to Rakefile:

   app.info_plist['UILaunchStoryboardName'] = 'Launch Screen'

Launch Screen.storyboard.zip

@hboon agree but do we need to make the ib gem a default then? I have been essentially doing this on my last few projects and having it as the default is superior but do we need to give a mechanism to edit/update?

You don't need the ib gem if you use storyboards only for launch screens. You can still double click on the storyboard to open it in Xcode for editing.
