Is it impossible to change the splash screen at runtime in uwp?

We'd like to show one splash screen for Customer A and one for Customer B.

According to a stackoverflow answer, the splash screen can't be set at runtime, but I'd like to be sure.

I read an excellent article here on how to do it using build configurations. The problem is that my colleagues and I don't have faith in this method (though it works in my test app). If the system is copying files at runtime, something could go wrong.

A colleague suggested I could switch the splash screen at runtime by packaging it up in a dll. Please can someone tell me if this is possible?

I think it might be possible to amend the Package.appxmanifest at runtime, but this could be very difficult and risky to implement. (Discussed here.)

At the moment I have a separate Package.appxmanifest that I copy manually when I wish to switch from Customer A to Customer B. I think I'll have to carry on doing this.

You can implement an "extended splash screen" which is configurable by the app at runtime, here is the MSDN doc on how to do this:
