Hi guys! hope you all doing good!. I am having a problem with ios when i launch the app, it shows the splash screen then the app just closes itself. While on android it works fine. why is that? lately I have been playing with the `SplashScreenDelay` it could be because of that? I was trying to make the app boot time faster so I changed it like this :

```auto
    <preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="4000" />

```

also I tried to change it longer:

```auto
    <preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000" />

```

right now this is my config:

```auto
  <preference name="webviewbounce" value="false" />
    <preference name="UIWebViewBounce" value="false" />
    <preference name="DisallowOverscroll" value="true" />
    <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="16" />
    <preference name="BackupWebStorage" value="none" />
    <preference name="SplashMaintainAspectRatio" value="true" />
    <preference name="FadeSplashScreenDuration" value="1000" />
    <preference name="SplashShowOnlyFirstTime" value="false" />
    <preference name="SplashScreen" value="screen" />
    <preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000" />
    <preference name="FadeSplashScreen" value="false" />
    <preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false" />
    <preference name="loadUrlTimeoutValue" value="200000" />
    <preference name="Orientation" value="portrait" />

```

any sort of helpful would be really nice!! thxx

What is your `ionic info` output?

Messing with these settings shouldn’t really cause your app to crash.

ok i figured it out. it is working with ios version 4.1.0.

I did: `ionic cordova platform rm ios`

then added 4.1.0 version: `ionic cordova platform add ios@4.1.0`

for the reason why I was not able to get it to work with just - build ios:  
i think because i am usinf fcm plugin , it is causing some problem when the app launched. may be could look into this.

FYI: Your app-scripts is really old. Lots of bug fixes since then. Even if you don’t want to update ionic-angular for some reason, getting your app-scripts current might help you sidestep a lot of issues.
