Splash Screen in Capacitor

When to Use

TRIGGER when:

• Configuring or regenerating splash / icon assets (npx capacitor-assets generate)
• Splash never disappears, disappears too early, or flashes white/black before the web app paints
• Android 12+ shows a small cropped icon on a solid color instead of the full image
• Upgrading to Capacitor 9 and the Android fade-out animation vanished
• iOS shows a black screen after adding SceneDelegate.swift (8.5+)

Do not use:

• Status bar / navigation bar styling and edge-to-edge insets: safe-area-handling
• Migrating AppDelegate to SceneDelegate: capacitor-uiscene-migration
• Slow first paint / bundle size: capacitor-performance
• Icon requirements for store submission: capacitor-app-store
