Kasra Alizadeh
can we use it in sdk 50 expo ?? how please send full example
Attique Ur Rehman
Its already possible in expo managed flow. Please see following configuration for app.json / app.config.js. App will automatically pick dark/light splash screen depending on device theme
const splash = {
"image": "./assets/splash.png",
"resizeMode": "contain",
"backgroundColor": "YOUR_LIGHR_COLOR",
"dark":{
"image": "./assets/splash.png",
"resizeMode": "contain",
"backgroundColor": "YOUR_DARK_COLOR",
}
}
export default{
"name": "APP_NAME",
"slug": "APP_SLUG",
"owner": "APP_OWNER",
"version": "1.0.0",
"icon": "./assets/icon.png",
"userInterfaceStyle": "automatic",
"splash": splash,
"ios": {
"userInterfaceStyle": "automatic",
"splash": splash,
"bundleIdentifier": "APP_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER",
"buildNumber": "BUILD_NUMBER",
.......
},
"android": {
"package": "PACKAGE_NAME",
"versionCode": 1,
"userInterfaceStyle": "automatic",
"splash": splash,
"adaptiveIcon": {
"foregroundImage": "./assets/adaptive-icon.png",
"backgroundColor": "#FFFFFF",
.....
},
},
....
};
Note: Make sure your splash image/logo has transparent background or use separate images for dark/light splash. (I'm using single image with transparent background color)

Seems like this has been possible for a while.

Please what's the update on this feature Brent Vatne

Any update on this feature request Brent Vatne or Evan Bacon? :)
Brent Vatne
Adrian Carolli: it's technically possible by configuring expo-splash-screen via the plugin (rather than using the
splash
key). we haven't documented this yet because the api may change.sita berete
Brent Vatne: Can you give me an example or link to a resource that explain how it can be done using the plugin? I'm new to react native.
Brent Vatne
sita berete: it is intentionally not documented yet because it's not final :) i don't recommend using this if you are new

Brent Vatne: any idea when the API might be nailed down? If it changes, would that be expected in SDK 43, or some ways down the road? Might make sense for us to pull the trigger on this if we won't have to rewrite it as soon as SDK 43 comes out.
Brent Vatne
Slapbox: we are not actively working on this, we just built it out while rewriting splash screen config logic for eas build. unknown when it will change in the future. at worst you'll have to change the config object a bit so it's not a big deal

Brent Vatne: Please how we implement this
Michael Wood
Olalekan Raheem: See outatime's post here: https://forums.expo.dev/t/how-to-make-splash-background-color-dynamic/63520/2
But bear in mind that this is not "official" and it might stop working in future if the Expo team changes the API.

Hello, I didn't notice anything in SDK41 CHANGELOG referencing this feature, any chance it's making it in?

Merged in a post:
Appearance-Specific Config in app.json
Taha Attari
It would be great if app.json had dark/light mode specific configs for stuff like the splash screen and android navigation bar. I understand updating the theme on the fly might be hard for native components but since the app knows the theme when it starts up it should be able to pick appropriate options.
