Flutter v2.5.0 Android Splash Screen — Solved

A splash screen was provided to Flutter, but this is deprecated. See flutter.dev/go/android-splash-migration for migration steps.

I had implemented a native splash screen in my current project and everything was working correctly since I upgraded to v2.5.0 and I am starting to get this deprecation warning on my console:

A splash screen was provided to Flutter, but this is deprecated. See flutter.dev/go/android-splash-migration for migration steps.

Solution

It is caused by having the following code in AndroidManifest.xml, which was included by default in previous versions of Flutter:

<meta-data
    android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.SplashScreenDrawable"
    android:resource="@drawable/launch_background"
/>

The solution is to remove the above code.

Hope this helped 🙏
