    Could you, please, try Xcode 6?
    Also these things often help:
    - removing app from device manually
    - replacing xcode project instead of appending it

    Ok!

    In Xcode 5 already tried that, I removed the app using the xcode organizer, from the device manually and nothing, using replace instead append and nothing, plus I created a new blank project to make sure without favorable results.

    just left trying with Xcode 6.

    Fixed! with Xcode 6.1.1

    Xcode 5 does not have an SplashScreen for iphone 6 and unity 4.6.1 includes it, that should be generating the error.

    It would be really nice to have a fix for Xcode 5 as well.
    I'm currently having the same issue on Unity 4.6.1p1.

    Hi everyone. I am having the same issue even with Xcode 6.1.1 and unity 4.6.1 for an ipad build

    I had the issue with Xcode 5, read this thread so I upgraded to Xcode 6.1.1 and I'm still getting the same error.
    My workflow is as is :
    -build in unity
    -completely delete the xcode project on my macbook and replace it with the one I built
    -open project in xcode
    -edit all app icons (I don't touch the splash screen) manually. I don't have a choice to do it manually because Unity doesn't do a very good job at generating "pretty" ios icons.
    -archive and export as an ad-hoc build -> I do this because it's the only way to properly test if the splash screen bug occurs
    -open ipa file in itunes and sync with ipad
    -run on ipad
    -crash! :( -> abortOnInvalidSplashscreen in crash log

    Any ideas?

    Did you remove previous installation of the app from iPad before uploading update?

    yes, every time I totally removed the app from the ipad. For what it's worth I was finally able to have it work yesterday!
    Here is what I tried differently : Instead of editing the icons, bundle display name and target platform on xcode, I set them directly in my unity project. I also changed to "Fast but no exceptions" for the first time.

    Hi, is there any news on this ? I'm also getting this error with 4.6.3f1 and Xcode 6.1.1.

    This is what Xcode says :
    `abortOnInvalidSplashscreen() at VerifyiPhoneSplashScreen.cpp:90:

    I found a fix here :
    http://qiita.com/yonesuke/items/f5be7b1656011c525f4f

    Also the problem is only happening for iPhone builds.

    The fix says to remove :
    • LaunchScreenImage-Landscape.png
    • LaunchScreenImage-Portrait.png
    • LaunchScreen.xib
    Then select "Unity-IPhone", go to the "Info" tab and under "Custom iOS Target Properties", completely remove (with the '-' sign) the property named "UILaunchStoryboardName~iphone"

    This worked for me with Xcode 6.1.1 and Unity 4.6.3f1

    The above worked for me. Thanks Skflowne. Worth pointing out, UILaunchStoryboardName~iphone is split out from the UILaunchImages array and seems to be a new feature as of iOS8.

    Just upgraded to Unity 4.6.3 and XCode 6.2 in hopes to fix a bug where my 3d text is no longer rendering for iOS 8.2 and now I'm getting this bug too. Any timeframe on this fix? Deleting the app doesn't fix the issue on my test device, even if it did that's not an acceptable solution for my existing users...

    Note that 4.6.3 is not the same as 4.6.3p1 which has the fix. You should upgrade once more.

    Thank you! Just upgraded to 4.6.3p1/f1 and had the same problem, and @Skflowne your fix worked.

    Further note to anyone else who uses this method - remember to actually remove the references under Unity-iPhone in Xcode (under the folder tab in the left sidebar); I originally just deleted the files and it complained about not being able to find them.

    Patch 4 is available now... Unity 4.6.3p4

    And I no longer have this issue with 4.6.3p3 or 4.6.3p4 and did not have to delete/remove anything.

    As a side note, the error re-appeared when (in Xcode) I set Build Settings > Packaging > Compress PNG Files to NO. Leave this at the default setting of YES and the error goes away.

    @Skflowne 's solution also worked for me, thanks a lot :) I'm using Unity 4.6.3f1 and XCode 6.1.1

    Btw if you can't find "Info" tab, you can also access custom ios target propertis from "Info.plist" file in project navigator.
