Splashscreen doesn't work

ionic-v1
1
  1. I created an app in ionic creator.
  2. I installed it with Ionic CLI
  3. I added android platform via ionic platform add android
  4. I initialized resources via ionic resources
  5. I built the app.
  6. I ran the app.
  7. No splashscreen. Just dark grey screen (#333 kinda background) for a few seconds and then the app’s first page.

NOTE: I’m using the default icon.png and splash.png that comes with ionic. I am getting the icon, NOT the splashscreen.

For the record, I’ve tried:

  1. Deleting and regenerating resources on a stub project.
  2. Increasing timeout to 60000.

Please, for god’s sake, does this thing even work? Please check attachments.

Running the following commands fixed the issue for me:

ionic plugin rm cordova-plugin-splashscreen
ionic plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen.git

This will get you the latest version from their repo.
