[san650]

Add a configuration option to add a startup image

<link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" href="/launch.png">

It seems this tag is not working on the latest versions of iOS

@sdebarros I'll look for alternatives...

Maybe having this option for older iOS devices is still a good idea though, what do you think?

@san650 agree, though it seems to be failing from iOS 9 onward, not sure how many devices have iOS 8 or less

From what I have read the last days, specifying apple-touch-startup-image was broken for several iOS releases. I just checked and can confirm that manually adding <link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" ... > to index.html allows to specify startup splash screens on iOS 11.4.1. So this feature would still be very useful, or does anyone know of any other way to specify a startup splash screen image? Specifying them as icon does not work.
