Steps to reproduce

I would say it is not really a bug, but more like a support/help question. For some reason RNBootSplash.hide() has no effect on iOS. I do see that the logs from within components come out, however, the splash screen is stuck there.

Here’s my AppDelegate.m

… UIStoryboard *sb = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@“BootSplash” bundle:nil]; UIViewController *vc = [sb instantiateInitialViewController]; rootView.loadingView = vc.view; UNUserNotificationCenter *center = [UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter]; center.delegate = self;

[RNBootSplash initWithStoryboard:@“BootSplash” rootView:rootView]; // <- initialization using the storyboard file name return YES; }

This is my project directory:

Setting Launch Screen File as such:

Describe what you expected to happen:

I expect the splash screen to eventually hide. But it does not. I call it from my root component’s componentDidMount method (as well as componentDidCatch), however, calling it from anywhere else makes no difference too.

@omer-to You could ask for help on platforms like Stack Overflow as this is not an issue with the library.

@zoontek Hi again. I tried it. It worked (by the way the animation was very sweet.) So what does this tell me now?
