Removing splash-screen loading gif from Cordova app

You can remove the loading spinner in Cordova.plist. Set ShowSplashScreenSpinner to false.

Update:In Cordova 3.0+ adding <preference name="ShowSplashScreenSpinner" value="false" /> to your config.xml will accomplish the same goal.

I just removed the Launch images source and set the launch screen file to mainviewcontroller

Go to General Setting -> at bottom side Launch images resource and launch screen setting is available

If you have an IOS device i have a working method that you can use, it solved my problem when compiling for IOS. (Firstly i want to say you need to add an icon and splash in the correct folders or else Cordova will their default ones for you and also make sure that they are large enough so that the resources can be generated accordingly):

1. Remove the SplashScreen plugin provided using

        cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-splashscreen

2. Place your icon in the resources/ios/ folder and name it

icon.png

3. Go to the route of your directory and add your splash image (make sure that splash.png is 2800px * 2800px)

splash.png

4. Remove the ios platform if you installed it already and then re add it

        ionic cordova platform rm ios        ionic cordova platform add ios

5.Run the following command to generate your icon

        ionic cordova resources ios --icon

if building for android

        ionic cordova resources android --icon

6.Add the following lines to your config.xml

    <preference name="SplashScreen" value="none" />    <preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="0" />    <preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="true" />    <preference name="FadeSplashScreen" value="false" />    <preference name="ShowSplashScreenSpinner" value="false" />

This should solve the default icon and remove the splash screen which Cordova adds to the IOS project by default. I hope it helps!
