I can find a bunch of answers from pre-2014 about removing the launch/splash screen by removing the line \"Launch screen interface file base name\", but in this project on X
Simple way to remove lunch screen in IOS (react-native)
Goto project IOS directory
IOS -> Project Folder -> Base.iproj -> Open LaunchScreen.xib file
then remove < View > .... < / View > tag from file and save file
Contrary to an answer I received, you CAN disable the splash/launch screen. To do so:
click on your project
go to General
Your first view controller will now display instead of the Launch Image.
You can open XCode and try this:
You need to create a storyboard (not a xib file) and then add it to Launch Screen File. Then you can have your custom splash view controller inside it.
Remember to mark your splash view controller as Is Initial View Control.
