I know it's a new feature and this may not be possible, but I would like to be able to localize an Asset Catalog in different languages, to show a localized launch image. This was possible on XCode 4 simply localizing an image, but with an iOS7 app it not works. Do you know if that is possible?

I went the classic way. Just use single localized images and set up your plist correctly. The easiest way is to use one asset catalog, set everything up. Then open the application bundle and copy the correctly named files + the correct info.plist entries. (And of course remove the assets catalog afterwards) Result looks like this:

Info-plist:

info plist keys

Launch images filenames:

launch images filenames

(I needed all iPad orientations/sizes + all portrait iphone sizes + 7.0 specific sizes)
