Check out any of the following links:
Both of them will tell you that running apple-start-image will only work on iOS devices (and itβs not so easy to get them to show too).
I think it will take some time until the pop-up screens are available on different platforms.
In the meantime, I use this in my page:
<script type="text/javascript"> (function(){var a;if(navigator.platform==="iPad"){ a = window.orientation === 90 || window.orientation === -90 ? "FULLPATH-TO-landscape.jpg":"FULLPATH-TO-portrait.jpg" } else { a = window.devicePixelRatio === 2 ? "FULLPATH-TO-retina.jpg" : "FULLPATH-TO-startup.jpg" } document.write('<link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" href="'+a+'"/>')})() </script>
Of course, you can also write plain HTML, but I found this fragment somewhere in the Mobile Boilerplate , the author claims that all provided splash sceens will be downloaded on all devices. With this script, you get only one image with a splash screen and save 3 HTTP requests and upload unnecessary images.
