I can not tell why but after removing an reinstalling cordova-ios and splashscreen-plugin it works now:

$ cordova platform remove ios

$ cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-splashscreen

$ rm -rf platforms/ plugins/

$ cordova platform add ios@^6.1.0

Here is the key point: “… you don’t need the cordova-plugin-splashscreen since it’s added to cordova-ios since 6.0.0”.

Removing the old plugin fixed this for me.
