-----------------------------------
Summary: Fall back to using configured splash screen of matching
dimensions and opposite orientation when available, rather than default Cordova
splash screen
Key: CB-12952
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12952
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cordova-plugin-splashscreen
Reporter: Joshua Bronson
Priority: Minor
h2. Minimal reproduction steps:
(For the sake of brevity, the following assumes you are targeting iPhone 6, 6s,
or 7, but a similar procedure can be followed to reproduce on other devices.)
# Set up a cordova project with the iOS platform, cordova-plugin-splashscreen,
and add e.g. {{<splash src="res/screen/ios/Default-667h.png" width="750"
height="1334"/>}} to your config.xml, where "res/screen/ios/Default-667h.png"
is the path to your custom splash screen image with the dimensions indicated /
matching your device.
# Launch the app on the device while the screen is in *landscape* orientation.
h2. Current Result
Cordova's default splash screen is used.
h2. Expected Result
The splash screen specified in config.xml is used, just as it would have been
if the screen had been in portrait orientation when the app was launched.
h1. Rationale
It is strictly preferable (and better aligned with the intent of the developer
and expectations of the user) to show the same splash screen in landscape
orientation that is shown in portrait orientation, even though the orientation
won't match, compared to showing the default Cordova splash screen in the
landscape orientation.
It's easy for developers to not realize what the current behavior is, because
1. they followed the plugin's documentation, which doesn't warn about this
behavior clearly, even though it's totally a "gotcha", and 2. developers often
don't think to test in landscape mode, so never encounter this before releasing
to users. Then everyone gets an unpleasant surprise when they realize this has
been happening in production.
Any interest in adding logic to fall back to using a configured splash screen
of matching dimensions and opposite orientation, when available, rather than
the default Cordova splash screen?
h3. Impact
I've only encountered this while testing on an iOS device and using the
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-splashscreen/#legacy-launch-images
method, but it may occur on other platforms and configurations too.
