Uncaught (in promise): SplashScreen does not have web implementation (no Promise to chatch)

Yes we know, SplashScreen is for mobile devices and probably not supported also on PWA, at least it is not documented.

But if we run SplashScreen on ionic serve, we run into this error. So having a look from PWA documentation https://capacitor.ionicframework.com/docs/basics/progressive-web-app there is

If your app makes native plugin calls that don’t have a web substitute, such as SplashScreen.show(), the app will allow those calls without crashing. Calls that return a promise will return a rejected promise, which you should be handling in your app anyways.

But neither show() nor hide() has promise to catch. We can only check for Capacitor.isPluginAvailable and omit the calls.

Same thing on Network plugin. Shouldn’t work the plugins in ionic serve as for PWA’s?

This works for me on StatusBar

import { Plugins, PluginRegistry, Capacitor } from '@capacitor/core';

const { SplashScreen, StatusBar }: PluginRegistry = Plugins;

if (Capacitor.isPluginAvailable('StatusBar')) { StatusBar.show() };

As this is still happening with latest capacitor 1.3.0… @mlynch philosophically speaking, isn’t it capacitor’s job to “catch” this exception? Or better yet, shouldn’t capacitor provide a web implementation for things like SplashScreen and simply be a noop?
