      deleting from my iPad, cleaning project in Xcode and rebuilding fixed this for me.

            This is non-retina? Wondering if the constraints are blowing up somewhere for that screen.

              No, it's retina.

                Update - I had not fully deleted the previous version and two f.lux apps were present on the iPhone 5s. One worked and one didn't. Deleted the broken one and everything works fine now. Also saw f.lux team mention below that the problems I experienced with the app were related to the app not finding it's location. Very happy to finally have f.lux.

                On an iphone 5s I first got the black screen. Then I rebuilt and reinstalled it and get f.lux to open - but it doesn't work. I press preview or darkroom and the display brightness/color does not change in any way. I press Disable and it greys out the settings, and press Enable to re-display the settings - but they don't seem to have any effect.

                It worked just fine on my iPhone 6s

                          I have the same issue. I installed it on my own iPhone 6 running iOS 9.1 without a problem but when trying to install it on my friend's iPhone 6 running iOS 9.1, when running f.lux all I get is a dark screen. Also, XCode (7.1.1) then jumps to the following: http://i.imgur.com/WCayNx9.png

                          I don't know where I can find an error log if at all?

                            Wondering: did you happen to say 'no' to any prompts like location?

                            This may mean the black screen is a crash and people are staying there because they're running in Xcode.

                              I didn't even get any prompts, right when I start the flux app, the screen turns dark and nothing happens.

                                The same here (iPad mini, iOS 9.1, Xcode 7.1.1, non-retina, MD528FD/A). Screen simply goes blank and Xcode displays the errors popsmisdeal posted.

                                    I have this issue too on an iPad 3 (so Retina iPad) with iOS 9.1. I compiled with Xcode 7.1 on El Capitan. Just downloaded the project afresh, so no changes made. I never got any pop-ups on my iPad asking for any permissions. Flux is also not showing up in any of the permission views in Settings. Just first run it went black and never did anything besides showing the splash screen briefly. On my iPhone 5S with iOS 9.1 it works great by the way, so nice job!

                                    I couldn't properly debug the app, but when I used Xcode's Capture View Hierarchy on Device functionality, it opened a view where it said Thread 1: signal SIGSTOP. It was pointing at the line "0x2aa14f14 <+144>: mov r0, r5" in UIApplicationMain. I'm not sure if this line is easy for you to identify, so I'll post a subset of the total view:

                                      Worked great on my iPad Mini, but when I installed in my iPhone 5 or my wife's iPhone 5s, I got the same "blank screen on launch". No prompts at all — it briefly shows the Flux splash screen, then goes to black.

                                      Fortunately I can just press the Home button to get back to normal function of the iPhone. But no-go on F.lux itself.

                                          Black screen after brief splash screen as well. No prompts either, but home button returns to home screen.

                                            Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want.
                                            Try this:
                                            (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect;
                                            (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.
                                            (
                                            "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x154545530 V:|-(20)-[UIInputSetContainerView:0x154519c60] (Names: '|':UITextEffectsWindow:0x15453edb0 )>",
                                            "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x154602540 'UIInputWindowController-top' V:|-(0)-[UIInputSetContainerView:0x154519c60] (Names: '|':UITextEffectsWindow:0x15453edb0 )>"
                                            )

                                            Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint
                                            <NSLayoutConstraint:0x154545530 V:|-(20)-[UIInputSetContainerView:0x154519c60] (Names: '|':UITextEffectsWindow:0x15453edb0 )>

                                            Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger.
                                            The methods in the UIConstraintBasedLayoutDebugging category on UIView listed in <UIKit/UIView.h> may also be helpful.
