React-native-splash-screen: Support launch storyboards as splash screens on iOS

[abarisic86]

Is launch storyboard supported with this library? I can't get it to work.

I'm having the same problem trying to configure iPhone X following this tutorial
The splashscreen stoped working after I added the storyboard..

Also wondering this, as my app is using a LaunchScreen.storyboard file.

Anyone still having this issue? Doesn't seem to play nice with .storyboard files; won't unmount the splash screen, just stays on top.

anyone know if this is an issue? Apparently in April 2020, we'll all be required to use Storyboard

update, I switched us to using a storyboard w/o issues. The only change was to create the storyboard and then change the project target to use that as the launch screen instead of the old LaunchScreen.xib

Hello @gwmccull, how did you do that ? I'm confused, I just can't see the reference to LaunchScreen.xib, now that I updated to a .storyboard file I can't make it work, splashscreen is always white

@Victorien-Tardif did you change the Launch Screen File setting on your target?

select your project, then select the correct target, then choose the General tab

Yes of course ! But it does not work at all. No changes to make for RNSplashScreen ?

Well, for some reason it works when I put the file in the Base.lproj folder!

In a month that is going to be a real issue.

Starting April 30, 2020, apps submitted to the App Store must use an Xcode storyboard to provide the app’s launch screen

To be ready, you should start using https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash that already support storyboard

I found the tutorial at React Native iOS Splash Screen with Storyboard quite helpful.
I may look at the BootSplash component for a new build.

replacing the RNSplashScreen line in AppDelegate.m did the trick for me.

changed from [RNSplashScreen showSplash:@"LaunchScreen" inRootView:rootView]; to [RNSplashScreen show];
