I just got a new device with Android 12 (Samsung Galaxy S22) and thought I was going crazy when seeing two splash screens. Does anybody know of any quick and relatively painless ways of disabling the Ionic Capacitor splash screen for SDK 31+ devices while this plugin gets updated?

This seems to be becoming more and more important as Android 12 is adopted more and more every day.

There seems to be a workaround, at least for the cordova plugin: apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen#311 (comment)

Full disclosure, I don't know if this is the correct solution here but doing some testing and adding this to the 'styles.xml'

<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBarLaunch" parent="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
      <item name="android:background">@drawable/splash</item>
      <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">false</item>
      <item name="android:colorBackground">#ff0000</item>
 </style>

Allows me to control the first splash to a degree anyhow..

If setting windowisTranslucent to false, it will not show the first splash icon.. Next, and I don't know why but if adding the colorBackground, I can get the background to change from black to white, however it does not honor the hex value.. This is OK for me because changing light to dark is enough to add the contrast, however it would be nice to be able to change that.

I lack the skills at this point to modify the plugin itself, but from what I can tell, adding support for

windowSplashScreenIconBackgroundColor
