Platform(s)

• Android 14 (API 34) – Redmi Note 14 Pro
  • MIUI 15.0.13 (stable, 2024‑12 security patch)
• Pixel 6 (Android 14) → works

Current Behavior

On the Redmi Note 14 Pro no bitmap splash screen is displayed.
The Capacitor plugin logs “showing splash screen drawable:splash duration:3000” but only white screen appears.
Other devices show the splash correctly.

Expected Behavior

The splash image generated by @capacitor/assets should be shown full‑screen with CENTER_CROP before the web‑view is visible.

Other Technical Details

package.json (excerpt)
@capacitor/android          7.0.1
@capacitor/splash-screen    7.0.1
@capacitor/assets           3.0.5
@ionic/angular              8.0.0
Angular                     19.0.0

• Theme uses android:windowBackground black only, no bitmap.
• Plugin config:

SplashScreen: {
  androidScaleType: 'CENTER_CROP',
  launchShowDuration: 3000,
  launchAutoHide: true,
  splashFullScreen: true,
  splashImmersive: true,
  backgroundColor: '#000000'
}

Additional Context

• Possible fix: migrate plugin to Jetpack SplashScreen API or document Xiaomi workaround.
