iOS code has been removed from the cordova-plugin-splashscreen@6, because the code has been migrated to cordova-ios@6 as a core feature.

Older versions of this plugin however may still install on cordova-ios@6 which will cause conflict issues.

The solution is to ensure you're using the latest version cordova-plugin-splashscreen@6.

@breautek Sorry, can you clarify what the solution is here for this issue? We're currently using cordova: ^10.0.0, and cordova-ios: ^6.3.0 and cordova-plugin-splashscreen: ^6.0.2 and see the same issue with missing loading spinner on iOS.

If it's not working with splashscreen v6 installed (or removed) then I'd suggest raising an issue at the cordova-ios repo where the splashscreen is now implemented: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues

I'm not too familiar with iOS side of development but I suspect the spinner support was removed due to Apple's storyboard integration for launch screens which I think expects a static UI. At least I see lack of spinner terminology used in the codebase. If I'm right, then it means our documentation is unfortunately outdated, but someone with more experience than me might be able to provide better insight.
