Stuck on splash screen with iOS 12

[egonm12]

We are using Cordova 8 in the new frontend app of de Kudos-o-Matic and with iOS 12 the app gets stuck on the splash screen. There is an open issue for this on the Cordova repo but I think it's good to know this when there is a new Maji project with Cordova 8.

This is the current workaround

// cordova/plugins/cordova-plugin-splashscreen/src/ios/CDVSplashScreen.m

- (void)hide:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
{
    [self setVisible:NO];
}

And hide the splash screen manually:

cordova/plugins/cordova-plugin-splashscreen/www/splashscreen.js

window.setTimeout(function () {
  navigator.splashscreen.hide();
}, 1000);

EDIT: Just found out we were having this problem with Cordova 7.0.1. as well

Did apple reject your app because of this code snippet?

window.setTimeout(function () { navigator.splashscreen.hide(); }, 1000);
