In that case you have no choice but to use LC v8.1, since apparently 
among the other changes in iOS is is a stronger requirement about some 
of the specifics of how orientation and splash screens work.

We've had a couple reports of LC apps that work find under earlier 
versions of iOS exhibiting odd behaviors under iOS 10 Beta.

Fortunately the team was able to resolve those, and AFAIK the Stable 
release of v8.1 addresses all iOS 10 issues, possibly including:

I wonder if this comment about splash screen applies to your circumstance:

If not this is an excellent reminder of why we want to use the latest 
build of LC whenever possible, and almost always when a version of iOS 
is in Beta.  iOS has well known to be less concerned with maintaining 
backward compatibility than most other OSes, so working with the latest 
builds of both iOS and LC will help ensure any potential issues are 
identified early enough to be addressed before release.
