Hi Philipp,

I have been searching for a tutorial about creating a splash screen in Jetpack Compose, and now you've published exactly what I needed! Your tutorials are always so clear and helpful. I really appreciate your work and dedication to the Android development community.

Thank you so much!

great video ! does any one know how we can do this in compose desktop too? we have a cmp app that takes a little time to launch on desktop even after installing it with installers( msi, dmg, deb ). In android this is just fine because we can simply show a splash screen, but I didn't find any solutions for desktop

Basically, splash is UI specific, nothing is shared except the resource.

Hi phillpp, I wanna ask something. How to implement logic while splash screen is showing up for the iOS in xcode?

You mention side effects using a composible. What are those? I’ve implemented a multiplatform splash screen using composible and navigation but don’t see any issues yet. 🤷🏼‍♂️

is like this only support newer android versions so how do we handle lower versions

Hi Philipp
Is not CM supposed to be design once and work across all platforms similar to Flutter? If so then why is the SplahScreen designed in Xcode and AS?

I have a question, right now i have a cmp project but I need to build ios app with swiftUI only, should I delete iosMain and nativeMain dirs inside of composeApp module or not?

I created a new project, followed the tutorial but the logo is not shown on the SplashScreen. I also did git clone the project of the video, run it and the same thing happens. Does anyone face the same problem? I just download the code and run it. Logo not showing. Thanks for the video.

I have done the similar process for android but for virtual device of API 30 its giving a round shaped icon but for the same line of code in a physical device of API 33 it is giving a boxed icon(i.e. squared icon). Does Anyone know how to solve this issue?

For anyone who runs the project but the splash screen does not appear: stop running your project -> run the app by clicking the icon on the Android emulator (the app has your project as its name), you will see the icon appear briefly.
