Target: iOS Standalone (Tested on Simulator)

Steps to Reproduce

Start a new Bare project: $ expo init --template bare-minimum
Install expo-splash-screen using $ expo install expo-splash-screen && cd ios && pod install
Configure expo-splash-screen for iOS: https://github.com/expo/expo/tree/master/packages/expo-splash-screen#-configure-ios
Run project on Simulator/Device using $ react-native run-ios

Expected Behavior

Splash screen should autohides when app finish loading.

Actual Behavior

SplashScreen does not hides. Only works if add SplashScreen.hideAsync() on main component mount and according to README.md file on expo-splash-scrren:

“The native splash screen that is controlled via this module autohides once the ReactNative-controlled view hierarchy is mounted. This means that when your app first renders view component, the native splash screen will hide.” https://github.com/expo/expo/tree/master/packages/expo-splash-screen#-api

New bare workflow templates are already published so expo init --template bare-minimum will work with expo-splash-screen 🎉 To manually apply update:

please update react-native-unimodules in package.json to version ~0.9.0 and reinstall dependencies (yarn)
and in ios directory run pod install

Autohide should work fine after this package upgrade.
