URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/1669
# Bug Report
This is the same as #1579, except I'm using Android 12 on an OnePlus 7t
instead of a Realme.
## Problem
Splash screen shows just the background color, no icon whatsoever.
### What is expected to happen?
Migration to cordova-android 12 should go smooth, without having to do
guesswork on migrating the splashscreen or why the heck the icon is never
showing up.
### What does actually happen?
OnePlus splashes just with the background color. A Samsung tablet with
Android 11, though, works just fine*.
Honestly, while the previous user decided to just abandon the bug report, I
think this is an important problem since it actually makes our Cordova app
*unreliable*. A splashscreen without any text or icon, even though it's
colored, looks like a broken app for the user. The moment they click the icon,
they _want_ to see something, and seeing just a blank/colored screen is
confusing - specially if we're downloading a new payload, which could make the
splashscreen hang for more time than the user would bear an empty screen.
> \* I realized I should try other devices only after I gave up and started
googling for splash screen problems on cordova 12, and then found #1579; sadly,
**I had spent almost a day trying to figure out what I was doing wrong**, since
documentation is really lacking on that part. Specifically, it's missing an
explanation on what formats are acceptable for the icon, since it looks like it
only works with an XML file (from unknown origin, had to google to find how to
create one) but it actually accepts the old PNG, as long as it has the proper
padding. There's also no clear path of migration from the previous `<splash>`
tags, not even in the announcement blog post - you have to read through the
original Android documentation to piece stuff out, that's totally frustrating.
### Command or Code
Showing here the relevant(?) parts of `config.xml`:
```xml
<engine name="android" spec="^12.0.1" />
<platform name="android">
<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="33" />
<!-- TODO overrides cordova-plugin-push's requirement of 1.5.20, which
causes some deprecation errors -->
<preference name="GradlePluginKotlinEnabled" value="true" />
<preference name="GradlePluginKotlinVersion" value="1.7.21" />
<preference name="AndroidWindowSplashScreenBackground" value="#F8B61D" />
<preference name="AndroidWindowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon"
value="res/drawable/bot.xml" />
<!-- preference name="AndroidWindowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon"
value="res/drawable/bot.png" /-->
</platform>
<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false" />
```
### Environment, Platform, Device
Affected device: Android 12, [OnePlus

Working device: Android 11, [Samsung
SM-P205](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_a_8_0_&_s_pen_(2019)-9651.php)
I also tested on an [ancient Moto G4
Play](https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g4_play-8104.php#xt1603) running
Android 7, it also works fine, if this is of any help :joy:
