Same here, not working on 0.71 ios

[tatiana-lonestone]

I think thi is just a problem with the documentation. I tried this for ios and it works :

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  self.moduleName = @"reactApp";
  
  [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
  [RNSplashScreen show];

  return YES;
}

It works on android with :

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    SplashScreen.show(this);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  }

I changed the return to something like this and it worked

• (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { self.moduleName = @"Your_App_Name"; [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions]; [RNSplashScreen show]; // here return YES; }

Thank you for that feedback! It worked here :)

You can show splash screen like below code snippet. It works fines for the latest React Native Version (0.71.1).

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{  
  self.moduleName = @"ProjectName";
  // You can add your custom initial props in the dictionary below.
  // They will be passed down to the ViewController used by React Native.
  self.initialProps = @{};
  
  bool didFinish=[super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
  
  [RNSplashScreen show];  // here
  return didFinish;
}

Reason why this happens: Your Splash Screen should shown after the IOS finishes the launch. In your case, you're showing the Splash Screen before finishing the launch options. RNSplash doesn't know where to get attach before the rootView setup.

Hope you will find this solution insightful.

[Guilleanto]

i have 0.71.3 and don't work for me

and in 0.71.3 i have this MainActivity code from RN

[josmmv]

@Guilleanto you have to add the following line at the top of the MainActivity.java file:

import android.os.Bundle;

I was trying to fix this for over 1 day, thanks @Huzaifa1911

[Pattygeek]

The solution works for me but how can I increase the duration the splash screen shows for? I used setTimeout in useEffect but that didn't work.

[Yureyny]

ave 0.71.3 and don't work for me

I have the same problem using reactNative "react-native": "0.71.3", and "react-native-splash-screen": "^3.3.0".

Has anyone been able to solve this using these versions?

[josmmv]

@Yureyny I have those version too and the solution given by @Huzaifa1911 above worked. Please read the entire issue.

[Yureyny]

@Yureyny I have those version too and the solution given by @Huzaifa1911 above worked. Please read the entire issue.

Thank you! I have already solved the problem, only in ios it closes quite quickly, anything to add in this regard?

[AFDHAL2009]

I have same issue in react native : "react-native": "0.70.6",

help please

[Huzaifa1911]

@AFDHAL2009 I think you didn't import the libraries correctly. In MainApplication.java, you need to add below line. import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreenReactPackage;

In MainActivity.java, you need to add below line. import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen;

[AFDHAL2009]

@Huzaifa1911 thanks I try to add with the correct import the app launch but crash happen ,so i replace this by null SplashScreen.show(null); save my life it works fine .

[hoseinfo]

when I put this line [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions]; to app delegate I got this issue: No visible @interface for 'UIResponder' declares the selector 'application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:'

any solution?

[Adnan-Bacic]

I think thi is just a problem with the documentation.

i dont necessarily think its the documentation. the Appdelegate.mm file was changed a lot in react-native 0.71. see here: https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.70.8&to=0.71.0

didFinishLaunchingWithOptions used to return YES;. then it was changed to return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];

it seems the fix you posted still has return YES;

im sure there is a reason the react-native team changed the return statement. either way it seems we have to change it back to get the splash screen to work again.

//Add public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { androidx.core.splashscreen.SplashScreen.installSplashScreen(this); org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen.show(this, true); super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); } }

[ashahid-arpatech]
