Splash screen doesn't disappear

[aleksandr-senichev]

"react-native": "0.44.0", "react-native-splash-screen": "^2.1.0",

It works fine so far (no updates, nothing new), but splash screen now doesn't disappear, no error in build. If I remove [Splashscreen show] from the AppDelegate.m file it works, but I want to have some delay. What it could be? It just stopped working, and if I even get back to my previous commits, it still no effect. Could it be problem with my OS or simulator? I don't yet check on real device.

class AppWithNavigationState extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    setTimeout(() => {
      SplashScreen.hide();
    }, 2000)
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Index
        navigation={addNavigationHelpers({
          dispatch: this.props.dispatch,
          state: this.props.nav
        })}
      />
    )
  }
}

mee too,the error message Class PLBuildVersion is implemented in both /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AssetsLibraryServices.framework/AssetsLibraryServices (0x124c2ecc0) and /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PhotoLibraryServices.framework/PhotoLibraryServices (0x124a456f0). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

Out of curiosity, are you using the wix navigator (react-native-navigation)?

[Gp2mv3]

@emin93 I just switched to react-native-navigation and it started to bug... Do you have a solution ?

[hustlerism]

Same thing happened to me on Android.

componentWillMount () {
        SplashScreen.show();
    }

    componentDidMount () {
        SplashScreen.hide();
    }

Any solution for this?

[fmoessle]

same for me on android, and I am using wix navigation

[hustlerism]

I managed to solve this issue by removing

SplashScreen.show()

[Gp2mv3]

I did the same but then the splashscreen never shows...

[romanglom]

Anyone figured out how to fix it? I have the same problem in Android.

"react-native": "^0.47.0", "react-native-splash-screen": "^3.0.1",

And I'm also using react-native-navigation from wix.

+1 Using "react-native":"0.47.2" and "react-native-splash-screen":"^3.0.6"! The screen does not disappear after calling SplashScreen.hide() in componentDidMount() function in my LoginScreen. Here is my AppDelegate.m

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>
#import <React/RCTRootView.h>
#import "SplashScreen.h"
@implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  NSURL *jsCodeLocation;
  jsCodeLocation = [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index.ios" fallbackResource:nil];
  RCTRootView *rootView = [[RCTRootView alloc] initWithBundleURL:jsCodeLocation
                                                      moduleName:@"MyApp"
                                               initialProperties:nil
                                                   launchOptions:launchOptions];
  rootView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:1.0f green:1.0f blue:1.0f alpha:1];
  self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
  UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIViewController new];
  rootViewController.view = rootView;
  self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
  [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
  [SplashScreen show];
  return YES;
}
@end

Here is my LoginScreen.js (as part of StackNavigator of react-navigation):

const AuthNavigator = StackNavigator(
  {
    LoginScreen: {screen: Login},
    RegisterScreen: {screen: Register}
  },
  {
    initialRouteName: 'LoginScreen',
    headerMode: 'none'
  }
)
...
class LoginScreen extends React.Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    setTimeout(SplashScreen.hide(), 3000)
  }
  ...
}

Any help?

[6axter82]

I am having just exactly the same problem as @ralcon described. Any improvements on this issue? The app is working on Android but on iOS it just stoped at this stage.

[aditya-simplecrm]

Any solution?

[aditya-simplecrm]

If I add the splash screen through LaunchScreen.xib then this library works like a charm. But if I add splash screen images in Images.xcassets then splash screen is not hiding.

[6axter82]

Did you have a look in #87?

[cihadturhan]

android, v3.0.6 with react-native v0.54.4. Sometimes splash screen stays forever, although I explicitly call SplashScreen.hide()

[wincod75]

So, I had the same exact issue, this is how I fixed it. Seems a bit glitchy in my emulator, will test on actual device.

change -> DidMount to -> WillMount

componentWillMount() { SplashScreen.hide(); }

"react": "^16.3.2", "react-native": "^0.55.4"

[facuescobar]

@wincod75 I'm using the same RN version but in my case, that fix doesn't seem to work all the time. it was working correctly on iOS, then tried to run it on android, and now it doesn't work on Android and iOS

Any other fix around?

Environment:
  OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3
  Node: 7.9.0
  Yarn: 0.23.2
  npm: 5.8.0
  Watchman: 4.7.0
  Xcode: Xcode 9.2 Build version 9C40b
  Android Studio: 2.3 AI-162.4069837

Packages: (wanted => installed)
  react: 16.3.1 => 16.3.1
  react-native: 0.55.4 => 0.55.4

UPDATE : My bad, I was initializing the app on a different screen, and I never called SplashScreen.hide();

[oferRounds]

@cihadturhan did you manage to solve it? It happens on my case also from time to time, on Android

[tandat2209]

Same. But only when I build release. Any solution?

[jsina]

I'm using react-navigation and have SwitchNavigator for navigate user base on his/her authentication to the proper page. but unfortunately after first time the app is initialize on release mode the splash screen stuck and never disappear. @wincod75 I think your solution might be closer to my problem but I have to say I've user TabNavigator from react-navigation and when user has auth to access to the tabs then the splash screen does not disappear.

Here is what RNN suggested https://medium.com/@pqkluan/how-to-implement-splash-screen-in-react-native-navigation-ee2184a1a96

[onlaps]

Having the same problem with react-native-navigation (wix). Stuck on splash-screen, and after some time app crashes.

[jsina]

@onlaps maybe this tutorial could help you How to implement Splash Screen in React Native Navigation

[eddiecooro]

I have the same issue in the release build react-native: 0.56.0 react-native-splash-screen: 3.1.1 and I use the react-navigation library for navigating

[nichiyoshi]

Having the same problem with react-navigation. This only happens in the release build.

[its-artemis-actually]

I had this issue too, on iOS only. After debugging, I switched to [RNSplashScreen showSplash: inRootView:] instead of show: and it finally worked.

So my didFinishLaunching code in AppDelegate looks like this instead:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  [BugsnagReactNative start];
  NSURL *jsCodeLocation;

  #ifdef DEBUG
    jsCodeLocation = [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index" fallbackResource:nil];
  #else
    jsCodeLocation = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];
  #endif

  RCTRootView *rootView = [[RCTRootView alloc] initWithBundleURL:jsCodeLocation
                                                      moduleName:@"MyApp"
                                               initialProperties:nil
                                                   launchOptions:launchOptions];
  rootView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:1.0f green:1.0f blue:1.0f alpha:1];

  self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
  UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIViewController new];
  rootViewController.view = rootView;
  self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
  [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
  [RNSplashScreen showSplash:@"LaunchScreen" inRootView:rootViewController.view];
  return YES;
}

This assumes you’re using the LaunchScreen.xib file, not launch images.

Thanks @its-artemis-actually!!!

[SMKH-PRO]

I had same issue, none of the above solutions worked for me, Then what i simply did was "Cleared Cache" of the temporary app on the emulator and it worked!... now i am afraid it will of-course happen again when that cache comes back!..

[Jyrno42]

Make sure to call SplashScreen.show before the call to super.onCreate, e.g this worked for me:

public class MainActivity extends NavigationActivity {
	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		SplashScreen.show(this);

		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
	}
}

while these resulted in empty white screen after call to SplashScreen.hide:

public class MainActivity extends NavigationActivity {
	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

		SplashScreen.show(this);
	}
}

public class MainActivity extends NavigationActivity {
	@Override
	protected void addDefaultSplashLayout() {
		SplashScreen.show(this);
	}
}

[rochapablo]

This is not the first time that I had this issue. So this message it's for myself in future;

To fix on iOS make sure that [RNSplashScreen show]; is the last thing before return YES;

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  ...
  
  [RNSplashScreen show];
  
  return YES;
}

[kumarutsav111]

Having the same problem with react-navigation. This only happens in the release build.

I am also facing the same issue as you like in release build splash screen hangs and not moving to next screen. Any solutions ?
