This dependency is affecting detox with RN 63

https://github.com/wix/Detox/issues/2196 according to this issue on detox it's the dependency's fault that detox won't run properly.

Solved by replacing splash-screen with react-native-bootsplash

Thank you so much for reporting this. I was back and forth blaming Detox for not running properly.

I can assure you, Detox “runs properly”. But I am impartial. 😛

haha yeah i'm 100% sure that this is the splash-screen module's issue. the only way i resolved this is by conditionally removing this module when building for detox

I can also confirm that this is causing an issue - removing the library and leaving everything else as-is fixes the detox issue

any progress on this?

SplashScreen.hide() is not working when running with detox. We have to comment: // [RNSplashScreen show];, before doing any tests

Another workaround is to use [RNSplashScreen showSplash:@"LaunchScreen" inRootView:rootView]; instead of [RNSplashScreen show];

This will however impact the way the splash screen dismiss animation. The standard/system iOS fade-out animation of the splash screen will not be used with this approach and the splash screen view will be dismissed without any animation instead. But using this method RNSplashScreen will no longer use the technique...

    while (waiting) {
        NSDate* later = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0.1];
        [[NSRunLoop mainRunLoop] runUntilDate:later];
    }

...to block the UI thread (and therefore to keep the native splash screen visible). This is apparently causing some issues with Detox.

this is still an ongoing issue
