NS9: Android SplashScreen appearing when navigating between pages #10997
Description
Issue Description
After upgrading our app to NativeScript 9, the SplashScreen is appearing on Android when navigating between pages. This did not happen when using NS 8.9 modules.
It also happens with a newly created NS 9 app:
screen.mov
The only modifications:
- added a second page
- removed the two @nativescript/theme imports in app.css
When using @nativescript/theme css, it seems that the issue does not occur, but we don't want to use that and the app was working correctly without that package when using NS 8.9.
Reproduction
Sample app for reproduction:
ns9test.zip
