Description
I updated my app, and among other things, it upgraded nativescript/android to 8.7.0. When I ran on Android, the app never got past the splash screen. While debugging this, I discovered if I just set nativescript android back to 8.6.2, everything worked fine, and the app ran normally.
I'd like to upgrade fully, but I can't figure out what change to nativescript/android made this occur.
If I change the implementation used from androidx.core:core-splashscreen to use 1.1.0-rc01 I can get it to work, but why would nativescript/android version affect this?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Android splash-screen freeze with nativescript/android 8.7.0, then compare the same app on 8.6.2. Inspect the change involving androidx.core:core-splashscreen and verify the app reaches its normal screen without requiring version 1.1.0-rc01.
