Is there a known bug when changing splash screen in .Net Maui?

Question

Unfortunately I am really in despair. I am trying to change the splashscreen of my Maui App on my IPhone. In vain.

I have already searched all forums from Github

• https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/10079
• https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/8685
• ...

to StackOverview

• Maui Splash Screen no image displayed
• Cannot change .NET MAUI Blazor Splash screen on IOS
• ...

to various blogs explaining how to change it, but none of the proposed solutions worked.

I have already created new projects several times and not once did changing the splash screen work.

Specifically, my .csproj file looks like this:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

    </ItemGroup>

    <ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Debug" Version="7.0.0" />
    </ItemGroup>

</Project>

Furthermore splash.svg must have the BuildAction MauiSplashScreen. It does, see picture 1.

My files in the 'Platforms' folder (AppDelegate, Info.plist,...) are unchanged. Clean, Rebuild, ... nothing helps. The logs in the output for starting the app look like this:

Please help me. :( I am about to finish my app, but unfortunately it fails only the splashscreen. Is there a known bug in that area?

(Further information: Everything is up to date [Device, VS, .Net Maui])

I changed the MauiSplashScreen Property and expected to see my default image.(Actual it is svg file! Just to show you the image it is png)

1. Renamed the original splash to splash_old.
2. Added my new splash.svg
3. Added in .csproj file: <MauiSplashScreen Include="Resources\Splash\splash.svg" Color="#512BD4" BaseSize="128,128" />
4. Clean and always delete previous apps on my IPhone
5. Rebuild
6. Deploy and Run on my IPhone
7. Rerunning the app without VS22

My result: No changes and still the default .Net Icon on purple background.

Answer 1

It's weird. I followed your steps, and failed as you said. Then I referred to the official doc: Splash screen, but still failed.

But I fixed it by th following steps:

1. put the image you want to use it as splashscreen into Images folder.
2. set the image's Build Action to MauiImage
3. Add <MauiSplashScreen Include="Resources\Images\pxlkb.png" Color="#ffffff" BaseSize="64,64" /> in .csproj file

Here is the
