Action Performed:

Open the app

Expected Result:

The splash screen should appear, and then there should be an animated transition between the splash screen and the homepage of the app.

Actual Result:

The splash screen disappears, and the homepage appears. No animation.

Workaround:

n/a

Platforms:

Which of our officially supported platforms is this issue occurring on?

• Android / native
• Android / Chrome
• iOS / native
• iOS / Safari
• MacOS / Chrome / Safari
• MacOS / Desktop

This should apply to all platforms, though it's worth noting that there are currently some problems with the splash screen on web, stemming from both a misconfiguration and the CSP. So for the scope of this issue we can start with the native splash screen and then loop back to web.

This is only assigned to me in the interim, but I plan to pass this off to @mrousavy ASAP (see the slack thread)

DM'd Marc to ask if he still wants this one. It's not urgent at all.

[JmillsExpensify]

Someone that's passionate is welcome to pick it up, though adding the not a priority label for clarity.

Going to drop this since I'm not going to work on it any time soon
