How to completely disable the splashscreen?

[MulverineX]

I figured out how to do it for electron easily, but for android/ios I can't find configuration anywhere to turn it off, I'm told to call a function to tell capacitor when the app is done loading, but I don't know how to do that within vue (within webpack)

I don't know about completely disabling the splashscreen but hiding it when the app is loaded in Vue is simple enough. Add the following line in the mounted hook in the App.vue-file:

SplashScreen.hide()

@mlynch, I do have a use case in which I would like to completely disable the splash screen. I have a native component that is used initially on launch. (different ViewController in iOS and different Activity in Android) The user is then brought into the Capacitor component from that native piece.

Guys, I've made some progress on it tweaking the SplashScreen.java, overriding those fade params. Has anyone got success on it?

in BridgeActivity.main you can remove Splash.showOnLaunch(this);
But it's not configurable

I had tried but it was not worked looking for other solution

You can disable the splash screen by setting launchDuration: 0 in capacitor.config.json.

I think the paramter is launchShowDuration and not launchDuration.

Here is the code from Bridge.java

public static void showOnLaunch(final BridgeActivity a, CapConfig config) {
    Integer duration = config.getInt(CONFIG_KEY_PREFIX + "launchShowDuration", DEFAULT_LAUNCH_SHOW_DURATION);
    Boolean autohide = config.getBoolean(CONFIG_KEY_PREFIX + "launchAutoHide", DEFAULT_AUTO_HIDE);

    if (duration == 0) {
      return;
    }

    show(a, duration, 0, DEFAULT_FADE_OUT_DURATION, autohide, null, true, config);
  }

However even after setting this to 0 in the capacitor.config does not work

"plugins": {
    "SplashScreen": {
      "launchShowDuration": 0
    }
  },

Right, wrote it without checking.

Something new here?

None of these solutions are working for me. This can't possibly be that hard!?

You probably don't want to hide the splash screen. Because Apple had made it mandatory last year. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/28332

In capacitor 3 you can just don’t install the splash screen plugin.

But it will still show the launch storyboard on iOS and the activity background on android and while the webview load you’ll see a white screen for a brief moment.

I'm on cap 3 and never installed the splash screen plugin. In fact, the capacitor.config.json file has no "plugins" section at all.
I would also like to eliminate the splash screen since I have my own with a black background, like most mobile games use.

Is there a solution now?
