  1. Running into the same error on a unimodules project. Was able to patch it by adding
    (splashScreenView.parent as? ViewGroup)?.removeView(splashScreenView)
    to SplashScreenController.kt before showing the splash screen, either in ShowSplashScreen or the handleRootView child removal listener. Looking into whether it affects bare-expo.

  2. Ditto. Thanks
    Here is what we did if it helps

      fun showSplashScreen(successCallback: () -> Unit = {}) {
    weakActivity.get()?.runOnUiThread {
      (splashScreenView.parent as? ViewGroup)?.removeView(splashScreenView)
      contentView.addView(splashScreenView)
      splashScreenShown = true
      successCallback()
      searchForRootView()
    }
  }
