Android:

1.In your android/settings.gradle file, make the following additions:

include ':react-native-splash-screen'   
project(':react-native-splash-screen').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-splash-screen/android')

2.In your android/app/build.gradle file, add the :react-native-splash-screen project as a compile-time dependency:

...
dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':react-native-splash-screen')
}	

3.Update the MainApplication.java file to use react-native-splash-screen via the following changes:

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {

    private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
        @Override
        protected boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
            return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
        }

        @Override
        protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
            return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
                    new MainReactPackage(),
            new SplashScreenReactPackage()  //here
            );
        }
    };

    @Override
    public ReactNativeHost getReactNativeHost() {
        return mReactNativeHost;
    }
}

iOS:

1. In XCode, in the project navigator, right click Libraries ➜ Add Files to [your project's name]
2. Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-launch-image and add SplashScreen.xcodeproj
3. In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add libSplashScreen.a to your project's Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries
4. Run your project (Cmd+R).

Third step(Plugin Configuration):

Android:

Update the MainActivity.java file to use react-native-splash-screen via the following changes:

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
   @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        SplashScreen.show(this);  // here
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }
    // ...other code
}

iOS:

You should add following code to AppDelegate.m for keeping launch image:

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "RCTRootView.h"
#import "SplashScreen.h"  // here

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // ...other code
    
    [SplashScreen show];  // here
    return YES;
}

Getting started

Import react-native-splash-screen in your JS file.

import SplashScreen from 'react-native-splash-screen'

Android:

Add a file called launch_screen.xml in the layout as the splash screen.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/launch_screen">
</LinearLayout>

Then you can use it like this:

import SplashScreen from 'react-native-splash-screen'

export default class WelcomePage extends Component {

    componentDidMount() {
    	 // do anything while splash screen keeps, use await to wait for an async task.
        SplashScreen.hide();
    }
}
