   So, I did some digging and built the "Hello World" app from scratch 🙂:
   
   ```
   sudo npm install -g cordova@11.0.0
   cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
   cd hello
   cordova platform add android@11.0.0
   ```
   
   After setting up the config and adding the hide function to the device-ready event as seen above **it was indeed working** if `AutoHideSplashScreen` is `false`! 
   
   Then I asked myself what is the difference to my "real" app, installed a dozen plugins and ... it was still working 😅 .
   Finally I reviewed my initial code and remembered this in my `onDeviceReady` function: `cordova.InAppBrowser.open("index.html", "_self");`. It is a redirect to my actual starting-page (my default is start.html) and for a reason I can't remember I decided years ago to use the `InAppBrowser.open` to do it.
   After that `navigator.splashscreen.hide()` is broken when called in the new `onDeviceReady` or anywhere else in my app.
   
   When I replace `cordova.InAppBrowser.open("index.html", "_self");` with `window.location.href = "index.html";` it miraculously starts working again! The old version of splash-screen didn't really care so the code worked fine for the last ~3-4 years 🤷‍♂️ .
