Need Help: Splashscreen for android 12 using Vue/Capacitor

[Christoph33444]

I'm building a Vue/Capacitor app that allows users to input data and generate a PDF. It's a single-page app with 10 input fields, and it's being tested on an emulator via Android Studio.

The issue I'm facing is with the splash screen behavior on Android 12+. When launching the app, I see two splash screens:

The first splash screen shows the app icon centered on a colored background — I believe this is the Android 12 system splash.

After about 10 seconds, it transitions to a completely white screen that lasts another 6–10 seconds before the app finally loads.

I want to remove the second white screen entirely and have the Android 12 splash until the app is ready. The app doesn't use network and should load quickly, so this delay seems excessive.

Here’s my current setup:

AndroidManifest:

`
type

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

    <activity
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout|uiMode|navigation"
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_main"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.MyApp.Splash"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:exported="true">

        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>

    </activity>

    <provider
        android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
        android:exported="false"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
            android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />
    </provider>
</application>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
