Android 14 Splash screen crash

[Fouzhan21]

I use React Native version 0.75.2 and have implemented a react-native-splash-screen for local device development. On devices running Android 11, everything works fine. However, when testing on Android 14 during development, the app crashes with an error message after the splash screen appears and I click a button.

And this is the MainActivity.kt file code

package com.tenkan

import android.os.Bundle;
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivityDelegate
import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultNewArchitectureEntryPoint.fabricEnabled
import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultReactActivityDelegate
import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen

class MainActivity : ReactActivity() {

  /**
   * Returns the name of the main component registered from JavaScript. This is used to schedule
   * rendering of the component.
   */
  override fun getMainComponentName(): String = "tenkan"
 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    SplashScreen.show(this)
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
}

  /**
   * Returns the instance of the [ReactActivityDelegate]. We use [DefaultReactActivityDelegate]
   * which allows you to enable New Architecture with a single boolean flags [fabricEnabled]
   */
  override fun createReactActivityDelegate(): ReactActivityDelegate =
      DefaultReactActivityDelegate(this, mainComponentName, fabricEnabled)
}

launch_screen.xml code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    >

    <ImageView 
        android:layout_width="match_parent" 
        android:layout_height="match_parent" 
        android:src="@drawable/screen" 
        android:scaleType="centerCrop" 
        /> 

</RelativeLayout>

🚀 Consider Using react-native-splash-view Instead!

Hey there! 👋 If you're facing issues with AppDelegate changes in React Native 0.76+, you might want to try [react-native-splash-view] instead!

✅ Why switch to react-native-splash-view?

• Fully compatible with React Native 0.76+, including Swift-based AppDelegate.
• No extra hassle—works smoothly with both Objective-C & Swift projects.
• Simple integration with iOS storyboard splash screens & Android launch screens.
• Lightweight & actively maintained for the latest React Native versions.
