I have a native splash screen in flutter, but when the splash screen ends, it has a fade animation to my app home screen. I need to remove that, and still use the native splash. How can I do that?

Here is what I found:
- Open your Android project inside your Flutter project
- In you Android project, go to
app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
- in that
AndroidManifest.xml
file, you should find oneactivity
block - in that block, comment or remove the two
meta-data
blocks, especially this one:
<meta-data
android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.SplashScreenDrawable"
android:resource="@drawable/launch-background" />
Not only the splash screen will still works, because you have android:theme=@style/LaunchTheme
as attribute of the MainActivity
, but il will also remove the glitch that you may have on your splash screen that shifts a little bit your logo (if you have one in your splash screen of course).
That solution works (at least for me) if you have a basic splash screen. I haven't tested that with a more advanced custom animated splash screen for example, so it might not be the perfect solution for everyone.

The commenting out
block results in android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0 and app crash for my app. Both release and debug. – Dmytro Feb 14 '21 at 10:21 -
@Dmytro That's strange, since that block is not a Resource. I double checked on my project and that `meta-data` is commented and I don't have any issue. Maybe your problem comes from elsewhere? – matteoh Feb 14 '21 at 10:53

1My app's Android builds are on stable latest channel - 1.22.6@Linux. For now I use recipe from https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/63156 – Dmytro Feb 14 '21 at 11:06

I think I found - I had additional custom splash screen loader which tried to reuse the data from manifest. My apologies for disturbing. – Dmytro Feb 15 '21 at 11:50

@Dmytro No worries! Glad you found it ;) – matteoh Feb 15 '21 at 12:23

@Dmytro could you explain your solution, if you've found it? I am using also this temporary method github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/63156 (left an answer there) but it does not work – riccardogabellone Nov 26 '21 at 16:11

We have finished with https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/63156#issuecomment-670390702 . iOS app wasn't a problem for customers (maybe it was smoother in release iOS builds already). – Dmytro Nov 27 '21 at 19:26
