Getting Warning Application should not provide its own Splash Screen in Android Studio

Issue

I have recently changed my Target SDK Version to 31 (Android 12) and after upgrading I started getting this warning:

The application should not provide its own launch screen.

This is the screenshot:

So why I'm getting this warning, is there any better approach to create Splash Screens or should I just ignore the Warning?.

Solution

There is better approach now. For Android 12, there is brand new Splash Screen Api which works on previous versions aswell, see more here

It supports theming, custom animations and is super simple to use.
