1

I build an app with latest version of ionic

In iOS there isn’t this problem!

Any suggestion for me?

Try to put this on the second line of your main.ts file

import { enableProdMode } from ‘@angular/core’;

then before the bootstrap line put

enableProdMode();

also when building use --prod so “ionic build android --prod”

you should totally upgrade your app to the latest ionic version 2.2.0. It uses also a newer angular 2 version with many fixes and performance boosts. Maybe it does not change your bootup problem… but brings better performance in general.

Do you show the splashscreen a fixed time or do you hide the splashscreen manually if you app is ready?

Thank you @clew24 and @bengtler
I tried again with --prod version and i rebuilded the app.
After this I edited the lenght of splashscreen delay in config.xml and now is acceptable.
Thanks for your support!
