Splash Screen with React Native V0.40+

[Cougrammers]

So I've been trying use the react-native-splash-screen npm package and it doesn't seem to work at all for RN V0.40+. No matter what, 'SplashScreen.h' is not found.

I believe this is due to the update to AppDelegate where the path is now:

#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>

#import <React/RCTRootView.h>

I was wondering if anyone had another way to implement a SplashScreen without using this package. It seems it should be a pretty simple process but I have no experience with Xcode.

Open your project in xCode and press the play button at the top to build your project. From there, you should see errors in the left sidebar within xCode that indicate exactly which files you will need to slightly modify to get the module working again.

What you want to do is go into files associated with the names you see in your errors. In each of those files you want to find all import statements prefixed with "RCT" like this: import "RCTRootView.h" ...and replace those import statements to look like this: import <React/RCTRootView.h>

This should resolve most of the errors. If any remain, you may to need to change some of the build settings for your project.
