Cannot hide default cordova-splash screen ionic 3

Question

I have made a custom splash screen page for my ionic app. The issue is that when I build the project for ios platform the default splash screen is still loading.

I have added following in the config.xml file:

  <preference name="ShowSplashScreen" value="false" />
  <preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="0" />

Also in the ionViewDidEnter() of the custom Splash Screen I'm hidding the default cordova splash screen;

 ionViewDidEnter() {
   this.splashScreen.hide();
   ......
 }

What could possibly be the issue? Every time I run the build project in xcode the cordova splash screen comes first(which should be hidden), instead of the custom one.

I have the tried the config settings from the below referrences :

joshmorony

coursetro

But neither of them worked.

did you install the native plugin for splashScreen ? if no follow this steps : ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-splashscreen npm install --save @ionic-native/splash-screen@4

after import : import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen';constructor(private splashScreen: SplashScreen) { } you can use the this.splashScreen.hide();
