iOS Quirk

  1. In your Cordova.plist, you need to modify the value for "AutoHideSplashScreen” to false

  2. Then, if you want to delay hiding the splash screen for 2 seconds, you can do this in your deviceready event handler:

     setTimeout(function() {
         navigator.splashscreen.hide();
     }, 2000);
