When implementing a new `@(MauiSplashScreen)` feature for .NET MAUI, I
found out that Catalyst doesn't have support for splash screens.
I even tested this in Xcode:
* Create a new Objective-C iOS app
* Make `LaunchScreen.storyboard` red and `Main.storyboard` green.
* Check the new `macOS` checkbox in project settings to enable
Catalyst and be a multiplatform app.
I see red, then green on iOS but only green on macOS. I think Catalyst
completely ignores `UILaunchStoryboardName`.
This removes splash screens from the `dotnet new maccatalyst` template
as well as the `MyCatalystApp` sample project.
Also
* Fix the Mac Catalyst sample to use the correct contents.json and images sizes
for Mac Catalyst app icons.
* Fix the contents.json and image sizes for the Mac Catalyst test project as well.
* Add unit test for Mac Catalyst that ensures that Assets.car is in the final app.

To implement templates in a .NET workload:
1. Make `.nupkg` files that follow the structure of the `dotnet new`
templating system, using `$(PackageType)` of `Template`.
2. Install the `.nupkg` files in in `dotnet/template-packs/`
3. Update `WorkloadManifest.json`, to be part of the workload:
"Microsoft.@PLATFORM@.Templates": {
"kind": "template",
"version": "@VERSION@"
}
These are a starting point, for what I would consider the minimum for
the xamarin-macios repo to provide for now:
Template Name Short Name Language Tags
-------------------------------------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------------
iOS Controller template ios-controller [C#] iOS
iOS Application ios [C#] iOS
iOS Class library ioslib [C#] iOS
macOS Application macos [C#] macOS
MacCatalyst Application maccatalyst [C#] macOS/Catalyst
tvOS Application tvos [C#] tvOS
We will probably need PM input on what the final templates will be.
To use these, you might do:
$ mkdir MyApp && cd MyApp
$ dotnet new ios
$ dotnet new ios-controller --name LoginController --namespace MyApp
