How to setup splashscreens on app packed with Voltbuilder?

1

No luck here. No splashscreens are visible on apps packed with Voltbuilder.
I have done that so far:

  1. In app properties extrafiles I set a .png
  2. In app properties “Voltbuilder and Cordova” field “splash (2732)” I set 2732.png
  3. In config.xml I set:
    <preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="2000" />
    <preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="true" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-splashscreen" />

<platform name="ios">
<!-- iPhone and iPod touch -->
<splash src="res/splash/ios/Default.png" width="320" height="480" />
<splash src="res/splash/ios/Default@2x.png" width="640" height="960" />

<!-- iPhone 5 / iPod Touch (5th Generation) -->
<splash src="res/splash/ios/Default-568h@2x.png" width="640" height="1136" />

<!-- iPhone 6 -->
<splash src="res/splash/ios/Default-667h@2x.png" width="750" height="1334" /> 
<splash src="res/splash/ios/Default-Portrait-736h@3x.png" width="1242" height="2208" />
<splash src="res/splash/ios/Default-Landscape-736h@3x.png" width="2208" height="1242" />

<!-- iPad -->
<splash src="res/splash/ios/Default-Portrait.png" width="768" height="1024" />
<splash src="res/splash/ios/Default-Landscape.png" width="1024" height="768" />

<!-- Retina iPad -->
<splash src="res/splash/ios/Default-Portrait@2x.png" width="1536" height="2048" />
<splash src="res/splash/ios/Default-Landscape@2x.png" width="2048" height="1536" />
</platform>
<!-- Android -->
<platform name="android">
<splash src="res/splash/android/ldpi.png" density="ldpi" />
<splash src="res/splash/android/mdpi.png" density="mdpi" />
<splash src="res/splash/android/hdpi.png" density="hdpi" />
<splash src="res/splash/android/xhdpi.png" density="xhdpi" />
<splash src="res/splash/android/fr-xhdpi.png" density="fr-xhdpi" />
<splash src="res/splash/android/portrait-xxhdpi.png" density="port-xxhdpi" />
<splash src="res/splash/android/landscape-xxhdpi.png" density="land-xxhdpi" />
</platform>

Can someone help? Thank you.

If you’re setting splash and icon in your project property, there is no need add the <splash lines to your config.xml file.

Start by removing those - though I’m not sure that will solve the problem.

Thank you for answering. That sounds a bit vague. Has NSB ever tested Voltbuilder packing and splash screens for ios and android? In former times “adobe phonegap build” required all the splash lines in config.xml.
Kind regards, Gerrit Mueller, Austria.

Yes, AppStudio has been generating icons and splash screens for a couple years now.

Fine, then it should be possible to send a zipped demo, which I can pack with Voltbuilder, in order to see, whether it runs for me?
Thank you in advance.

I understand that AppStudio automatically builds all sizes of icons and splashscreens when and if you set icon(1024) and splashscreen(…). My config.xml solely contains (concerning splashscreens)

<icon src='{icon}' />
<preference name='SplashScreenDelay' value='2000' />
<preference name='AutoHideSplashScreen' value='true' />
<plugin name='cordova-plugin-splashscreen' source='npm' />

and the splashscreens do appear when the app is built with VoltBuilder.

Thank you for helping. It runs now for me.
