Additional context

I am nearly certain the issue is identical to this StackOverflow question. The posted solution describes the splash screen showing very briefly when reopening the app. It's only a fraction of a second, but the splash screen's blue background can be seen flashing on the screen when Bluesky is reopened from the home screen. However, I don't know if it's possible to implement the solution in React Native or if some other workaround is required.
