How to add an animated splash screen with expo-custom-assets
Blog post from Expo
Benny Neugebauer, co-creator of the Programming Tutorials app, shares insights on integrating animated splash screens into mobile applications using the expo-custom-assets config plugin. This tutorial focuses on using the animation tool Rive, which provides a free plan for unlimited personal files and allows developers to create and integrate animations smoothly. The expo-custom-assets plugin simplifies the process by bundling animations as native resources during the Expo Prebuild step, eliminating the need for manual configuration changes in Android and iOS platforms. After linking custom assets and installing the appropriate React Native runtime library, developers can build views that control the animation display and update the state once the animation finishes, offering a polished user experience. This approach enhances the app's first impression with high-quality animations, while the Programming Tutorials app offers additional resources for learning programming languages like TypeScript and Python.
