Description
The splash screen docs were a bit confusing for me to follow, bu I think mostly because some of the information is out of date.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/user-interface/images/splashscreen?view=net-maui-7.0&tabs=android
It was unclear when the IDE was expected to auto-generate some of the properties vs. when they should be manually included and this led to some confusion and wrangling.
For Android, I believe the process has changed in later versions so a general review would be good. For example, the doc references `Resourcs/values/maui_colors.xml` and `Resources/drawable/maui_splash_image.xml`; the former still exists as just `Resourcs/values/colors.xml` but AFAICT the latter does not seem to exist whatsoever.
I also ended up adding a png and referencing it as png in the csproj as well (instead of svg as the docs seemed to suggest)
