Hey Fellow Coders,
new to cocos2d so please easy on me ;)
I would like to remove cocos2d's splash screen and add the cocos2d reference on the credits screen of my app. I deleted the default.png file from the resources folder rebuilt the app but the splash screen is still there!
what am I missing?
thanks

You can use whatever splash screen you want to.. fire up your image editing software (ie. Photoshop) and create an image that is 320x480 if you want it in portrait mode otherwise you need to rotate the image 90 degrees and put whatever logos you want on there and name it Default.png and it will show up when the app starts.. you can then use the smaller cocos2d logo on your "credits" screen when you build that into your app. The Default.png will only change the Splash Screen and nothing more...

that's what i want to do however if i just create a new default.png i have no control over its duration or any dynamic content i would like to add to it. I simply don't know which code is actually displaying the Default.png. Actually I'm puzzled by the fact that Default.png still shows up even though i have deleted it from the project.
Clean your project and it will probably crash.
As for the dynamic content, just start your game with a scene that starts with the same splash screen and do whatever you want there.
The Default.png is fired from Apple's code. it's there so the loading seems to go faster.
Default.png is a static placeholder graphic while your application loads. You can leave it out if you wish, but the screen will be black until your app fully loads which seems to take several seconds even with simple apps. Sometimes this black screen could confuse users as they don't know if the app loaded or not. Many apps have the company name on the Default.png graphic and once the app is loaded you can do whatever.
@gaminghorror: That's what I thought in the beginning but apparently in my case it didn't clean all targets. While in debug mode, I replaced my splash image and did clean all targets, then I switched to release mode. I still had my old splash image. So I had to do clear all targets once again.
@gaminghorror : adik is right about the need to "Clean all" once for each build configuration (debug, release, etc). "Clean all" cleans all the targets of the current build configuration. A project can contain several targets (the cocos2d project you can download has a lot of targets for the examples).
Deleting the "build" folder in Finder is faster but be cautious. Several months ago, a guy I worked with deleted the build folder while Xcode was building/installing on the device. It messed something in the OS and we had to reinstall/restore the OS on the device.
