Thanks, this was very helpful!
Seems like startup images still aren't working on iOS 9.3. Just finished putting some together in Photoshop and then I found this thread. Hopefully this is resolved.
@plainspace do you have them working on iOS 9x?
Thanks a lot!
in iOS 9, startup images are borked :(
This is amazing, thanks a lot! I was wondering if you could link to other pages in the web app, without it going into Safari (or your default browser)?
Thanks :)
Is this not working for anyone else in iOS10?
iOS 10? :(
Still not working in iOS10. What a shame Apple!
Can confirm this does not work on iPad 2 + iOS 9.3.5
Still busted as of iOS 11 in 2018 :/
found a working solution here: https://appsco.pe/developer/splash-screens & https://dev.to/oskarlarsson/designing-native-like-progressive-web-apps-for-ios-510o
This lib can be handy: https://github.com/onderceylan/pwa-asset-generator

Can anyone verify if this is still an issue in 9.3?
