Originally created by @JVT038 on GitHub (Nov 17, 2022).

Describe the bug
I've recently accidentally updated my Android version to Android v12.
This version apparently had a new 'splash screen' feature, which forced a splash screen to every app- regardless of whether the app supports it or not. More info: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/launch/splash-screen

I've noticed that when I open Immich, I have two splash screens. One of which was forced by Android 12, and the other built-in splash screen. Android does have an API to integrate the app's splash screen with the splash screen forced by Android 12, so this is fixable. I've also added a video recording.

The first splash screen is the native splash screen which we have no control over, and the second splash screen is the intended splash screen to perform the login action if you check the "Stay logged in" box

According to the docs, you have to migrate your current splash screen to the new API for Android 12+ and that will fix this issue. So it can be fixed

It is also mentioned what happens if the splash screen isn't migrated to the new API:

If you do not migrate your app, your app launch experience on Android 12 and higher will be either degraded or may have unintended results:
If your existing splash screen is implemented using a custom theme that overrides android:windowBackground, the system replaces your custom splash screen with a default Android system splash screen on Android 12 and higher (which may not be your app’s intended experience).
If your existing splash screen is implemented using a dedicated Activity, launching your app on devices running Android 12 or higher results in duplicate splash screens: the new system splash screen displays, followed by your existing splash screen activity.
