Hey Alex: LOL, because of what I explained below. ;-)
My app is downloading a lot of data during initialization and the splash is displaying a "Loading..." message. The time it takes to download the data I need to display the first view varies by a lot. On an iPhone 5 it could take 7 seconds, on an iPhone 8 it could take 2 seconds. I don't want iPhone 8 users to wait 7 seconds to see the first view, but I want the splash to remain in place on slow phones until the data is completely downloaded so the view is populated. If I simply set splash duration to 2 seconds and the data isn't loaded when it dismisses, it shows a blank first view. This is disconcerting. I can of course show a busy cursor over a blank screen until it's loaded but that's not what the client wants. Get me now? Thanks so much!
