BootSplash logo is appearing with a delay

Before submitting a new issue

• [X] I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
• [X] I tested using a supported version of react native.
• [X] I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

Bug summary

I started to see this issue on iPhone 11 (production build) - in Simulator everything works as expected..

If you check my screen recording video, you will see that initially BootSplash is presented without the logo, then the logo is displayed for a very short time.

Another thing I notice is even I select BootSplash.storyboard under Xcode -> Launch Screen File it is automatically getting removed and remain empty, anyway in Info.plist -> Launch screen interface file base name is set to BootSplash (without .storyboard extension) as it should be.

Library version

@mydesweb Looks like an issue in your project. Is your BootSplash.storyboard correctly added in your bundle resource, in dev and in release?

[mydesweb]

@zoontek just checked and all files are in place. I executed again react-native generate-bootsplash command, in Xcode -> Launch Screen File is empty and if I manually select BootSplash.storyboard is automatically removed and remain empty.

[mydesweb]

anyway, it started to work normally after I created a new build just for your records Xcode -> Launch Screen File is still empty, I don't know if it is OK or not
