Description

Setting up a launch screen is kinda tricky platform-specific work. On iOS, you set up a UILaunchScreen Storyboard. On Android, you use the SplashScreen API.

It would be great if skip init provided a basic launch screen out of the box, which I could then edit in Xcode and Android Studio respectively.

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of skip init and how it generates iOS and Android project resources. Read the linked UILaunchScreen and SplashScreen documentation before checking the generated projects in Xcode and Android Studio. Done means a newly initialized project includes basic editable launch screens on both platforms.
