Hello,

I cannot seem to fade the splashscreen upon app launch. Here’s the relevant `config.xml` code:

```
<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false"/>
<preference name="SplashScreen" value="screen"/>
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000"/>
<preference name="ShowSplashScreenSpinner" value="false"/>
<preference name="FadeSplashScreen" value="true"/>
<preference name="FadeSplashScreenDuration" value="0.3"/>

```

I have the Cordova Splashscreen plugin installed, and I’m hiding the splashscreen manually:

```
$ionicPlatform.ready(function()
{
    $cordovaStatusbar.overlaysWebView(true);
    $cordovaStatusbar.style(1);

    $cordovaSplashscreen.hide();
});

```

Please let me know what I’m doing wrong. Thanks!

In my app fading is working in IOS, not in Android app.
