-----------------------------------
Summary: Change the default Cordova splash screen to be more
generic
Key: CB-12953
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12953
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cordova-plugin-splashscreen
Reporter: Joshua Bronson
Cordova's current default splash screen is heavily Cordova-branded. If this
splash screen accidentally makes its way into production (e.g. for some corner
case that developers had not encountered during testing), users end up seeing a
totally alien logo/brand that has nothing to do with the app they're using, and
they can easily get confused and disoriented.
This effect would be significantly reduced by changing the default splash
screen that is shown when no alternative one can be found in configuration to
something much more generic, e.g. a black background with just a "loading"
spinner, or the text "Loading...". (Even hardcoding this text in English would
be much more within users' ideas of "normal" behavior compared to what they see
now, even if they don't have their device set to English, and therefore greatly
preferable to the current behavior.)
Note, this was inspired by surprises like
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12947 and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12952 -- due to such things, it's
currently more likely than it should be for developers to let the default
Cordova splash screen sneak into production. Therefore it is particularly
desirable to minimize the impact to users when this happens.
Thanks for your consideration.
