I'd like to create a screen, similar to a splash that will stay at that screen until a user presses "start" to enter the application itself. How can I do this?

Simply like that:
Create the Screen where the button is and make sure everything works (pushing the button and so on)
Now make a screenshot of that.
Save it to Default.png and put it into your Projekt.
The main view that gets loaded will have to bee the splash screen with the button.
When the button is clicked the app loads the next view.
Take a screenshot of the splash screen with the button disabled or hidden. Name it Default.PNG and place it in the root of your project.
Now when the app is loading it will show that screenshot (default.png) and after the app is loaded the main view of the splash screen with button will appear. To the user it will just look as if the button becomes enable or appears for them to click and continue.
If you take a screen shot with the botton there and enabled the end user will think they can click it to continue and will repeatedly click on it to try and continue while the app is still loading. It can frustrate them and also could cause the app to be rejected in the review process, so make sure the screenshot doesnt show a button that looks like it can be clicked to continue.

I read somewhere that the name has to be "Default.png" - note the capital-D.
When I do this, the screen disappear after a few seconds, regardless of whether a user presses anything. How can I just set up a separate view that will appear after the splash screen, and will then provide a button that will enable a user to go to the "main view," the app itself.
Thanks for your help everyone!

That is what we are telling you to do!!!
your main view that gets displayed should be your splash screen!!!
dont know how to say it any clearer.

I think he wants us to write the code for him.
While I won't do that, I will suggest you check out the tutorials section of the site and watch the "Easy Tutorial On Switching Views" as it will show you how to implement a button that brings up another view, which I believe is what you want to achieve after the splash screen has disappeared.
so basically you want like a titlescreen, where you press a button and it takes you into your app?
if that's what you want then it's quite easy.
- create a UIImageView set it to take up the entire screen
- load your splash screen image into it (Default.png)
- add a button
- set the button to call a method which sets both your splash screen and the ster button to hidden
