Does SplashScreen plugin require Cordova Splashscreen plugin?

Hi all, I’ve followed instructions on Capacitor documentation page to use SplashScreen on my app but when I run it on emulator (both Android and iOS) I get the console message:

Native: tried calling SplashScreen.hide, but the SplashScreen plugin is not installed.
Install the SplashScreen plugin: 'ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-splashscreen'

Since Capacitor documentations says that Capacitor plugins replace Cordova plugins, I cannot understand the cause of these console message, can you please point me in the right direction to sort it out?

Hi @tntwist, thank you so much for your help! Indeed my app.component.ts was importing @ionic-native and referencing both Splashscreen and Statusbar plugins. The root cause is the Ionic CLI which creates the file when a new project is started even if you don’t specify the --cordova option.

Hi,

it seems that you call the cordova splashscreen plugin somewhere in your ionic app. Maybe you still have some references to the ionic native plugin for splashscreen: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/splash-screen

Cloud look like this:

import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen/ngx';

constructor(private splashScreen: SplashScreen) { }

...

this.splashScreen.show();

this.splashScreen.hide();
