Summary:
Loading a SKSpriteNode using +[SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:] results in a blank texture when running on iPad Mini/iPad 2/iPhone 5/iPhone 4s and attempting to load an asset that has iPad size classes from the Asset catalog. If attempting to load an asset that only has Universal size classes, or when running on an iPad Air and above or an iPhone 5s and above, this issue will not occur. 

A workaround exists and that is to create a SKSpriteNode using [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithTexture:[SKTexture textureWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"ImageName"]]]

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an asset in the asset catalogue with iPhone and iPad size classes
2. Create an SKSpriteNode using +[SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:] passing in the name of the asset created in step 1
3. Add the SKSpriteNode to your SKScene
4. Run on an iPad 2, iPad Mini, iPhone 4s, or iPhone 5

Expected Results:
+[SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:] should be able to load assets from the asset catalogue with iPad size classes on all supported devices

Actual Results:
+[SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:] isn't able to load assets from the asset catalogue with iPad size classes on all supported devices

Version:
iOS 9.0 (13A344)

Notes:
I've attached a project demonstrating the problem in ViewController.m inside the DemoScene class

Configuration:
iPad Mini MD528B/A
