Weird XIB \ Provisioning issue

Hi,

Experiencing a very weird issue here and I cant for the life of me work it out.

All was going well, I had finished my application, tested thoroughly in the Simulator, and then provisioned my device with a developer certificate to allow me to test the app on the device. All was fine up till I did this -

I created a new Distribution profile. I also created a NEW app id, which i assigned to the new Distribution profile. I downloaded this profile, added it to xCode. Then, I duplicated a Release build and called it Distribution. I then build my app under the Distribution config and all built ok. I couldnt run the distribution version on the device, but I believe this is correct behaviour?

So, I proceeded to add my new app... it informs me the name is already taken... so, I update the main XIB of my app, and change the title on the main screen navigation bar to be my new app name... so it went from.. 'My App' to 'My X App'

I thought i should test this on the device and simulator, so I switch the config build back to Debug, and change the provisioning profile back to the developer one in the Project settings..

Now, when I run the app, it picks up the old name in the nav bar (just for a second), then it switches to the new app name?????

Have tried 'Clean all targets', deleting application, configuring Developer and Distribution profiles to use same app id etc.. but, it still wants to pick up the OLD XIB nav bar title.. even tho the current XIB nav bar has clearly changed??

Its almost like its caching the old XIB design somewhere? Or perhaps, running two instances in some weird way , like running the old version of my app and the new version??

Really weird.. anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how I might remedy it?

Hope that makes some sense...

Did you update Default.png?

you, mr timle8n1, are a genius!

That was it! Would you believe I was tearing my hair out over that for 4 hours last night, I went to bed feeling sorry for myself.. but, today I awake and the answer is there!

I think, when I was creating screenshots for my app, it saved the first one as the Default.png, and it was since then using it when it initially loaded the app. I noticed that before, when running on the device, the screen was just black for a few seconds, before showing my apps initial view. So I gather the Default.png is used like a splash screen when initially loading?

As you can see I am still learning as I go..

I wonder, is it wise to always include a Default.png? And can this essentially be any png image? (obviously of the correct size). Or is it wise just to use the initial app view as Default.png?

Thanks again,
Much happier now :]
