react-native-splash-screen: [3.0.6] Crashes on Android

3.0.1 works on Android, but 3.0.6 causes an immediate crash. I can’t even open the app, it just pops up the crash alert. Logs don’t show anything useful, either:

$ react-native log-android

this is solved by creating the file: android/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <color name="primary_dark"></color> </resources>

@ryam4u that also worked for me. I could not leave the color as an empty string so I added a transparent status bar.

I ended up with the in my android/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <color name="primary_dark">#00ffffff</color> </resources>

My MainActivity.java is totally different

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

  @Override
  protected ReactActivityDelegate createReactActivityDelegate() {
    return new ReactActivityDelegate(this, getMainComponentName()) {
      @Override
      protected ReactRootView createRootView() {
       return new RNGestureHandlerEnabledRootView(MainActivity.this);
      }
    };
  }

  /**
    * Returns the name of the main component registered from JavaScript.
    * This is used to schedule rendering of the component.
    */
  @Override
  protected String getMainComponentName() {
      return "AppName";
  }
}

Am I to remove the createReactActivityDelegate method in favour of onCreate? It doesn’t seem like they can co-exist.
