# UILaunchScreenDefinitions

A collection of launch screen configuration dictionaries.

## Discussion

Each dictionary in the array resembles the one you might define for the [`UILaunchScreen`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UILaunchScreen) key, with the addition of a [`UILaunchScreenIdentifier`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UILaunchScreens/UILaunchScreenDefinitions/UILaunchScreenIdentifier) key that provides a unique identifier for the dictionary. You use that identifier when associating to the dictionary with a URL scheme in the [`UIURLToLaunchScreenAssociations`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UILaunchScreens/UIURLToLaunchScreenAssociations) array, or to indicate it as the default launch screen with the [`UIDefaultLaunchScreen`](/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/UILaunchScreens/UIDefaultLaunchScreen) key.
