Splash screen doesn't disappear

“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
        })}
      />
    )
  }
}

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(); }

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.
