Android: Delay between native splash screen and the artificial splash screen

[kevinejohn]

I noticed on Android there is a sub-second time delay between the native splash screen image and the time it takes to load the react-native-splashscreen's splash image. So for instance the default app background color is white so there will be a white screen shown in between the launching process of the app until SplashScreen.hide() is called. Is there a way to fix this?

I believe this is relevant but more focused on iOS:

@kevinejohn Not too complicated to get rid of the blip -- detailed instructions here: mehcode/rn-splash-screen#1

hey @kevinejohn , i'm under the same situation, only in Android, even the release version, it takes hella lot to start my custom splash screen animation, the native splash is hanging there like 2-3 seconds or sometimes more. In iOS is super fast tho... any idea of why this is happening or how to solve it? Thanks.

Hi @msqar did you ever find out what was causing it? I'm having the same issue
