Motivation and Context

Our customization of the SplashScreenPlugin leads to the updateSystemBars message getting sent twice if we are using a the legacy splash screen. The problem with this is that between the time that the native splash screen is closed and the legacy splash screen gets displayed in the webview there can be a flash of color when the status bar color is changed, or the navigation bar color is changed, the navigation bar is actually the root view, so the flash is very noticeable. This prevents the changing of those elements until the "final" splash screen has been closed.

Description

If we are using a custom splash screen, we no longer send the updateSystemBars message when the native splash screen is closed, instead only sending it when the custom legacy splash screen is closed. If we are not using a custom splash screen, the message gets sent when the native splash screen is closed.

Testing

I tested by making these same changes in an OutSystems app locally.
