The splash screen hides automatically after a few seconds

Vega Open Beta Bug Reports

Hi, I have a problem with the splash screen. I’m using usePreventHideSplashScreen, but it only shows for a couple of seconds and then hides automatically. Even if I comment out the code that should prevent it from hiding.

SDK Version: 0.20.3154
App State: Foreground

NAME=“OS”
OE_VERSION=“4.0.0”
OS_MAJOR_VERSION=“1”
OS_MINOR_VERSION=“1”
RELEASE_ID=“2”
OS_VERSION=“1.1”
BRANCH_CODE=“VegaMainlineTvIntegration”
BUILD_DESC=“OS 1.1 (VegaMainlineTvIntegration/4411)”
BUILD_FINGERPRINT=“4.0.147850.0(3072cab629675a74)/4411N:user-external/release-keys”
BUILD_VARIANT=“user-external”
BUILD_TAGS=“release-keys”
BUILD_DATE=“Thu Aug 14 19:28:37 UTC 2025”
BUILD_TIMESTAMP=“1755199717”
VERSION_NUMBER=“201010441150”

Expected behavior:

The splash screen should remain visible until the call to hideSplashScreenCallback is made.

Source code:

import {
useHideSplashScreenCallback,
usePreventHideSplashScreen,
} from ‘@amzn/react-native-kepler’;

(…)

const App = () => {
usePreventHideSplashScreen();

const [isAppReady, setIsAppReady] = useState(false);

const hideSplashScreenCallback = useHideSplashScreenCallback();

(…)

useEffect(() => {
if (isAppReady) {
// Hide the splash screen and render content
console.log(‘HIDE SPLASH’, isAppReady);
hideSplashScreenCallback();
}
}, [isAppReady]);

(…)

Hi @RTVE.es,

This issue sounds similar to an earlier issue reported here. Our team is already working on it. We will let you know when there is an update.

Hi @RTVE.es ,

The splash was being dismissed as it has developmentMode enabled, which will explicitly dismiss splash screen to avoid ANRs in devMode.

Rebuilding the app with devMode set to false works as expected.

Please check if this helps.

Thanks,
Rohit
