Splash screen feels "artificial" instead of native - blank screen still shows temporarily before splash image appears (Android) #64

Thanks for the work here. The previous yo rn-toolbox:assets approach did not use react-native-splash-screen or any javascript code. With this, as soon as you opened your app - even during the 'opening' animation - your splash screen would show, and the app would open fast.

However with react-native-make, the app first 'opens up', shows a blank screen for a second (white for me), and then shows your splash screen before fading it out. This whole process is also a little slower - suggesting that the javascript splash screen is "artificial" and actually just extending the app open time.

Tested on Android but may also apply to iOS if the native vs javascript suspicion applies!
