Design Splash Screen (Android)

Android 12+ uses the official SplashScreen API — different from iOS storyboard pattern.

How it works (Android 12+)

System renders:

1. Window background (color)
2. Animated app icon (default duration)
3. Brand image (optional)
4. App's first activity

Android 11 and below: fallback to expo-splash-screen full-screen image.

RN+Expo config

npx expo install expo-splash-screen
