Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

Happens in any project.

We just udpated from SDK 37 to SDK 39.

We now noticed that on SDK 37, when we invoked Updates.reloadAsync(), the user would be immediately shown the app’s splash screen while the app reloaded.

Now, they are shown an undesired white screen while the app reloads.
