Splashscreen does not hide and throws an exception on iOS

See original GitHub issue

Bug report

Summary

Textbook implementation according to the docs. The first screen in my app attempts to hide the splashscreen. On Android, this works fine, on iOS, an error is thrown. If I manually comment out that check in the native hide method in the lib, everything works as expected.

Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 0):
Error: A bootsplash task is already pending

Library version: 3.0.2

Steps to reproduce

Attempt to hide the splashscreen on iOS 14.1 on a physical device, using the RN version and library version above
It will not hide, and throw the promise exception.
It doesn’t matter if you try hiding in componentDidMount, or even later in the process (I tried an onLoadEnd for an image that’s shown on my main app screen).

Describe what you expected to happen:

The splashscreen should hide

Reproducible sample code

I will try to add a minimal repo over the weekend if the iOS/RN/lib version combination alone doesn’t offer enough of a starting point for reproduction.

@AlexeyVlasenko Did you read my answer ?

Hi! I’m sorry. Looks like issues with XCode cache on Big Sur. Twice build-cache reset + bundler reset fixed issue after upgrading to 3.1.0 Now all works fine!

Thanks for the update. I’ve been swamped to get a release out the door. I will most certainly try the proper fix ASAP.
