   I'm not sure if this changed in cordova-ios@6 but this is what I do in my apps:
   
   config.xml:
   ```xml
   <preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false" />
   ```
   
   This will make it so the splashscreen never disappears until you explicitly tell it to, which you can via javascript:
   
   ```js
   navigator.splashscreen.hide();
   ```
   
   This allows you to control when to hide the splash screen. For example in my app, before I show my own UI I first check if the user has stored credentials, and if so load the main screen first. Otherwise load the login screen. Only then I hide the splashscreen.
   
   > There should be a loading animation on the initial screen.
   
   I think android supports this, but not sure about iOS. Do note that splash screens are images that gets displayed, so there will be a brief period where there is going to be a still image. This is the time between app launch and native code actually executing.
   
   While the splashscreen code has been migrated away from the plugin, I believe the [documentation](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen#preferences) still applies
