Loading screen: White screen appears half way through loading

[stevecottle]

Description of issue

When I first open the app I see the purple loading screen the suddenly the screen whites out, then the purple screen returns and transitions into the app as expected.

This seems to be after updating the app.

Expected behaviour

I'd expect there to be an uninterrupted flow from loading, animation and transition into the app.

Steps to reproduce

Update and open app
Observe during the loading sequence a white screen appears half way through
The loading screen resumes and transitions into the app

OS / Browser / Device model

Hmmmm, I think to fix this we need to set a background color on the Android side. I'm guessing this is a result of moving theSplashScreenController.hide to componentDidMount in the Splash screen component.

If I download a Beta version of the app I can replicate the whiteout issue to some degree.
I wonder if I'm experiencing this issue because I have a test account for Google Play.

I found the reason and have a fix. It is currently building an alpha version but would be good for you to try it out when it has built.
