react-native-bootsplash VS native-navigation

The React Native Bootsplash library is a great option for adding splash screens and app icons to mobile applications. It comes with a CLI that can be leveraged to generate a splash screen and app icons on the fly. Let’s take a closer look.

I recommend you to use https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash as the latest version will use android splash screen API.

I have used both react-native-splash-screen and react-native-bootsplash and prefer the latter. https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash

As the title suggests I went through the setup process for the react-native-bootsplash library and Android is working perfectly. The splash screen shows up and does not dismiss since I have not called the hide method.

Personally I really recommend https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash.

🤖 Auto generate App Icon using react-native-make and Splash screen using react-native-bootsplash

it's defined right here : https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/zoontek/rnbootsplash/RNBootSplashModule.java

In this tutorial, let's learn how to use an awesome package called react-native-bootsplash to display a splash screen when an app starts and then learn the process of adding app icons in a React Native app.

I want to recommend everyone to use https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash instead. Much more maintained and stable. 100% my go-to in every project.

React Native Bootsplash

Honestly, if I were to make a wager for cross-platform tech, if it weren't for Google and its generally capricious nature and how they just can't get devoted to 1 thing for over 3 years, I'd think Flutter is a better bet, as they have their own UI rendering, therefore less potential for bugs that you have to workaround via modules from the outside for each platform.

React Native is great if you want to write platform + integration code in 3 different languages but still pretend you're "actually just using Javascript"
