Preparing project...
Successfully prepared plugin nativescript-theme-core for ios.

Failed to find LaunchScreen.storyboard but it was specified in the Info.plist.
Consider updating the resources in app/App_Resources/iOS/.
A good starting point would be to create a new project and diff the changes with your current one.
Also the following repo may be helpful: https://github.com/NativeScript/template-hello-world/tree/master/App_Resources/iOS
We will now place an empty obsolete compatability white screen LauncScreen.xib for you in platforms/ios/AppNSConfig3/Resources/LaunchScreen.xib so your app may appear as it did in pre v2.1.0 versions of the ios runtime.
