Splash screens only work on iOS. They are not supported on Android. To have them work effectively, you need to supply images for all the supported screen sizes.
=== iOS===


Here's how to add splash screens:
Updated documentation is pending, due to implementation of PWAs.


# Add 'splash' to the manifest.
=== Android ===
# Add folder named 'splash' to your project directory.
# Add a folder named 'ios' to the new 'splash' folder.
# In the ios folder, put the following files:
  320X460.png
  640x920.png
  640x1096.png
  748x1024.png
  768x1004.png
  1496x2046.png
  1536x2008.png
New for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus:
  1242x2148.png
  2208x1182.png
  750x1284.png


The resulting file structure will look something like this:

The default PhoneGap SplashScreen is set in Project Properties. It is called PhoneGap SplashScreen and needs to be in the top level of the project folder. PNG images work best: the filename should also be added to the Manifest property.

Put the main splash screen file name into 'extraFiles' in Project Properties: i.e. 320x426.png
Also, in Project Properties, put that same file name into PhoneGap splashscreen.


The same file structure can be used as in Web App for the rest of the splashscreens. Here's how it could look:

This page is obsolete. Starting with AppStudio 8, SpashScreens are created automatically. None of the information on this page is still applicable.


SplashScreens are displayed when your app starts. The way they work depends on the platform you are running on.

Web Apps

iOS

Updated documentation is pending, due to implementation of PWAs.

Android

Updated documentation is pending, due to implementation of PWAs.

PhoneGap Apps

The default PhoneGap SplashScreen must be set in Project Properties. The file needs to be in the top level of the project folder. PNG images work best: the filename should also be added to the extraFiles property.

Put the main splash screen file name into 'extraFiles' in Project Properties: i.e. 320x426.png Also, in Project Properties, put that same file name into PhoneGap splashscreen.

The same file structure can be used as in Web App for the rest of the splashscreens. Here's how it could look:

The Web App images can be in the same folder.

There's a handy utility for generating icons and splash screens. Upload a single png, and it will generate all the different sizes. https://pgicons.abiro.com/

Android

A similar file structure is needed as for web apps, but the screen sizes are different:

Create a folder in your Splash folder called android.

Add the following lines to the PhoneGap configxml property: 

<!-- Splash Screens -->

<preference name='SplashScreenDelay' value='2000' />
<preference name='AutoHideSplashScreen' value='true' />
<gap:splash src='{splashscreen}'/>
<gap:plugin name='cordova-plugin-splashscreen' source='npm' />

<platform name='android'>
    <splash src='splash/android/res-long-land-hdpi/splash.png' qualifier='long-land-hdpi' />

    <splash src='splash/android/res-long-land-mdpi/splash.png' qualifier='long-land-mdpi' />

</platform>

iOS

A similar file structure is needed as for web apps, but the screen sizes and file names are different. See the file names and sizes as they appear in the configxml property. Create files of your own with the same names and sizes.

Assuming you want all sizes, add the following lines to the PhoneGap configxml property: 

<preference name='SplashScreenDelay' value='2000' />
<preference name='AutoHideSplashScreen' value='true' />
<gap:splash src='{splashscreen}'/>
<gap:plugin name='cordova-plugin-splashscreen' source='npm' />

<platform name = "ios">
  <splash src='splash/ios/Default.png' width='320' height='480' />
  <splash src='splash/ios/Default@2x.png' width='640' height='960' />
  <splash src='splash/ios/Default-568h@2x.png' width='640' height='1136' />
  <splash src='splash/ios/Default-667h@2x.png' width='750' height='1334' />
  <splash src='splash/ios/Default-Portrait.png' width='768' height='1024' />
  <splash src='splash/ios/Default-Landscape.png' width='1024' height='768' />

  <splash src='splash/ios/Default-Landscape@2x.png' width='2048' height='1536' />
