1. issue description

The Lottie splash screen is working well on the development stage as I expected, thanks for your efforts @HwangTaehyun. While testing the app on the production, the lottie splasch screen gets skipped, and instead the default splash screen with the static image is showing. I am using expo bare flow and here is the AppDelegate.m file code

• (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { #if defined(FB_SONARKIT_ENABLED) && __has_include(<FlipperKit/FlipperClient.h>) InitializeFlipper(application); #endif

  RCTBridge *bridge = [self.reactDelegate createBridgeWithDelegate:self launchOptions:launchOptions]; RCTRootView *rootView = [self.reactDelegate createRootViewWithBridge:bridge moduleName:@“main” initialProperties:nil]; id rootViewBackgroundColor = [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@“RCTRootViewBackgroundColor”]; if (rootViewBackgroundColor != nil) { rootView.backgroundColor = [RCTConvert UIColor:rootViewBackgroundColor]; } else { rootView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; }

  self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds]; UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIViewController new]; rootViewController.view = rootView; self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController; [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

  [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];

  /* lottie animation */ Dynamic *t = [Dynamic new]; UIView *animationUIView = (UIView *)[t createAnimationViewWithRootView:rootView lottieName:@“loading”]; // change lottieName to your lottie files name animationUIView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; // change backgroundColor // register LottieSplashScreen to RNSplashScreen [RNSplashScreen showLottieSplash:animationUIView inRootView:rootView]; // casting UIView type to AnimationView type AnimationView *animationView = (AnimationView ) animationUIView; // play [t playWithAnimationView:animationView]; // If you want the animation layout to be forced to remove when hide is called, use this code [RNSplashScreen setAnimationFinished:true]; / lottie animation */

  return YES; }
