where did the icons/launch image table go in xcode 6?

If you look at this thread iOS 7 App Icons, Launch images And Naming Convention While Keeping iOS 6 Icons

You see that xcode used to show a nice table where you could see all icon/launch image dimensions, what is missing etc.

I just managed to start migrating our app to ios8/iphone6 so i also upgraded xcode. However, now i can't seem to locate that table anymore, all there is is an empty section with buttons to "use asset catalog": enter image description here So, i have 2 questions:

  1. is the table somewhere else, or is "asset catalog" the way to go now?

  2. I tried the asset catalog, and all images are copied into this xcassets catalog. Is there any reason for me to keep the original files in the project? Do i need it for anything else, like ios5? I looked around but found no answer.

Thankful for some pointers.

  1. Use the Asset catalog , this is the preferred way now.

  2. If you use the asset catalog, all the images will be copied to images.xcassets, there is no need to keep the original files. If you control click the assets and show in finder, you could find the copied images. In asset catalog you have options to give different images for iOS 5,6,7 landscpae or portrait whatever is appropriate for your app.
