How do I select the Start Screen?

I created a new screen, called "SplashScreen". In Properties under App,.

 

1. I set the StartScreen property to "SplashScreen":

2. I also moved SplashScreen to the top in the Tree View:

Despite both of these settings, BrowseScreen1 gets directly loaded when I run the app. I've configured the app to navigate to BrowseScreen1 only when an icon on SplashScreen gets selected.:

What step did I miss?

    Are you talking about when you actually run the published app or when you preview it in the designer using the run button?  In my experience it works when you run a published version in the client, but the designer runs whichever screen is currently highlighted.  that's why the app object has a 'Navigate to Start Screen' entry in the app object.  In the same way that you had to manually Run ONStart in the past when working in the designer you have to run the command or be focused on the start screen to have it be the first when you preview the app.
