the only way, i find to fix this, is set a long time do delay, and true to autohide.
Does it stay on white forever @mluis? Then your app is probably broken in some way.
Does it go to the app after it has finished loading? Then the correct way is probably to disable the autohide and manually call the hide() method when your app is ready. (And then optimize your Ionic app to load quicker so this doens't take so long.)
It stays white forever. I also tried to call hide() manually but didn't worked.
It happened after updating the plugin although the same plugin version is working fine on mobile phone version iOS 12.2 but not on the iPad.
Persistent white screen is not really something that should be able to be caused by this plugin, strange. Have you remote debugged your app to look at the console for errors? https://ionic.zone/debug/remote-debug-your-app#ios
Did you also update Ionic, Cordova or Cordova Android at the same time?
Can you reproduce the problem in a plain new Cordova app created with cordova create?
The issue is showing the splash screen and then autohiding it following a white screen. I just ran the remote debug you linked but the console doesn't present any errors.
The versions I'm using are those from Version Information. I don't recall upgrading everything at a time.
I will try asap to check if the problem exists in a new created app with cordova create.
I downgraded to 5.0.0 and it resolved the issue:
cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-splashscreen --force
cordova plugin add [email protected]
The differences for iOS between 5.0.0 and 5.0.2 are minimal, so this doesn't really make sense @john-doherty. Is this reproducible in a new, plain Cordova app? A minimal reproduction repository would really help to debug and later fix this issue. More information on how to create one: https://github.com/apache/cordova-contribute/blob/master/create-reproduction.md
Here with:
cordova 10.0.0
cordova-ios 5.1.1
cordova-android 8.0.0
We had a similar issue with all newer versions of this plugin, but only after we installed branch-cordova-sdk
(beforehand it was working fine with 5.0.2).
on iOS: In our case we didn't have a white screen, but the splashscreen never disappeared on Android: the app didn't break but the splashscreen didn't seem to work anymore
This thread gave me the idea to test an older version – and after downgrading to 5.0.0 everything works again 🎊 (for some unknown reason).
The only hint we got came from the XCode console:
With version 5.0.2 of this plugin it showed two errors: Start Page at 'www/index.html' was not found and Internal navigation rejected - <allow-navigation> not set for url='about:blank'
After downgrading to 5.0.0 those errors disappeared and the splash screen worked again. (Again, no clue why..).
As always with cordova: the combination of various plugins can yield ominous errors that make no sense at all 🤷♀️ – At least I'm too lazy to investigate further...

If it's broken as of 5.0.2 but resolved not broken in 5.0.0, these are all the commits that has happened between those two tags.
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen/compare/rel/5.0.0...rel/5.0.2
I am having the same problem and am bumping this in hopes someone will respond with a quick fix at least.
-
using the latest version (6.0.0 or 6.0.1-dev) i got same problem ... a white screen after splash screen even if i use
in config.xml and call navigator.splashscreen.hide(); on device ready. -
using 5.0.0 fix the problem (no white screen).
Closing as stale.
iOS Splashscreen code has been migrated to the core platform. If issue persists on current versions of cordova-ios, please raise a new issue in the cordova-ios repository.
