iOS iPhoneX splash screen does not work

When testing my game on iPhone X device, the splash screen is black. The splash screen has been set for all devices using "Tools > Generate Project Images". As specified in the documentation, I confirmed that my .png is authored as 24bit PNG with no transparencies.

Xcode gives the following console warning while the game boots up on the device:

I also tried to go into build settings and set
Remove Text Metadata From PNG Files = NO.
This did not work either.

Why does GMS2 require a 1125 x 2436 splash screen for iPhoneX/Xs Portrait but Xcode is complaining about a 1100 x 2436 launch image? Could there be a bug in GMS2?

I'm using the latest Xcode and latest version of GMS2. This used to work in earlier versions.

Can't comment on whether this is a bug or not, but you should be able to workaround it whilst waiting to find out by opening the generated project in xCode and adding the required images there.

I will give that a try.
Can anyone confirm that they have been able to see a splash screen on iPhoneX using latest Xcode version?

I had the same issue. I solved the problem by adding the images to Xcode :)
