Trying to keep the splash screen for longer period with this `splashScreen.setKeepOnScreenCondition { true }`.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash on Android versions greater than 12 with Jetpack Compose, using splashScreen.setKeepOnScreenCondition { true } and pressing the system back button while the splash icon animates. Inspect the Splash Screen API and OnBackPressed callback behavior; done means the app no longer crashes and back handling is verified in that scenario.
