Help - Not showing the splashscreen

Hello,
I created an app with a sidemenu template, but it did not work.
My environment is configured like this:
Global packages:
@ Ionic / cli-utils: 1.2.0
Cordova CLI: 7.0.1
Ionic CLI: 3.2.0
Local packages:
@ Ionic / app-scripts: 1.3.7
@ Ionic / cli-plugin-cordova: 1.2.1
@ Ionic / cli-plugin-ionic-angular: 1.2.0
Cordova Platforms: android 6.2.3
Ionic Framework: Ionic-angle 3.3.0

System:
Node: v6.10.3
OS: Windows 7
Xcode: not installed
Ios-deploy: not installed
Ios-sim: not installed

I created the app as follows:
C:>ionic start

Run your app in the browser (great for initial development):
ionic serve

Run on a device or simulator:
ionic cordova run ios

Test and share your app on a device with the Ionic View app:
http://view.ionic.io

? Link this app to your Ionic Dashboard to use tools like Ionic View? Yes
[OK] Run ionic link to link to the app.

Go to your newly created project: cd .\emrota-app3

C:>cd emrota-app3

C:\emrota-app3>cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-splashscreen
Adding cordova-plugin-splashscreen to package.json
Saved plugin info for “cordova-plugin-splashscreen” to config.xml

Please edit your post and use the </> button above the post input field to format your code or error message or wrap it in ``` (“code fences”) manually. This will make sure your text is readable and if it recognizes the programming language it also automatically adds code syntax highlighting. Thanks.

What did not work?

If you expected a splash screen to show in your browser: That is normal that it is only shown when running on mobile platforms like iOS or Android, not in the browser.

OK,
If I use the ionic view app, will I be able to see the splash screen?

No. You have to build your app yourself to get your own splashscreen.

I will build the app on the smartphone or in the android emulator. And then I comment if it worked.

Thank you.
