react-native-bootsplash

• Add android flavor option for the CI tool (#213 by @cabelin)
• Fix an Android crash that happen on dev reload when the module wasn't initialised (#215 by @b3coded)
• Update ReScript bindings (#212 by @MoOx)

• Fix: Only forward non-null intent type to MainActivity (#207 by @sdenaci) (fix react-navigation deep-linking)

• Forward intent type to MainActivity (#205 by @sdenaci)

• Use activity as context instead - Allow dark mode on Android (#199 by @slaci)
• Bump project dependencies

• Backoff and wait for MainActivity creation instead of rejecting the methods Promise (fix #187)

• [chore] Update project dependencies

• Mount back the splash screen on JS bundle reload in development mode
• Switch to a task queue paradigm: Instead of rejecting the Promise in case of simultaneous operations (ex: triggering a fading show then hide before the show has completed), tasks are enqueued and will resolve in order (fix #184 #161)

• Add CLI generator support of @react-native-community/cli 2.x and 3.x

• The codebase has been rewritten in TypeScript, the bundling is now handled by 👷‍♂️ @react-native-community/bob
• The API is now Promise based: hide and show are now resolved only when your app has focus
• A new getVisibilityStatus() method is available
• The CLI tool has been updated to become a react native CLI plugin:

npx react-native generate-bootsplash assets/logo.png \
  --background-color=F5FCFF \
  --logo-width=100 \
  --assets-path=assets

Breaking changes

• Deprecate iOS 9.x support
• The hide and show methods duration config has been replaced with a simple fade boolean:

import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import { Text } from "react-native";
import RNBootSplash from "react-native-bootsplash";

function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
-   RNBootSplash.hide({ duration: 250 });

+   RNBootSplash.hide({ fade: true })
+     .then(() => console.log("fading is over"))
+     .catch(() => console.log("cannot be hidden"));
  }, []);

  return <Text>My awesome app</Text>;
}

• Forward onNewIntent event to MainActivity

• Allow extending with custom activity class (#171 by @andresesfm)

• Fix: Xcode 12 compatibility (#160 by @vikrantnegi)

• Only include desired files in npm package (package size reduction of almost 98%!) (#128 by @mikehardy)

• Respect loadingViewFadeDelay to prevent a white flash (Fix #103)

• Forward every intent from RNBootSplashActivity to MainActivity (#98 by @kirillpisarev)

• Install chalk and prompts as dependencies to prevent missing packages in production environments (Fix #94)

• Fix a regression: splash screen was not dismissed after refreshing app in dev mode (Fix #93)

• Ensure that the splash screen is visible before removing the rootView loadingView
• Add JS named exports (#90 by @rhdeck)

• [iOS] Updated logic: We now rely on RCTRootView loadingView. It prevents some white flashes on slow devices when a dark background color is used.
• [Android] Check layout existence before removing it (fix #68)

• Remove unwanted animations on addSubview / removeFromSuperview on iOS
