How to remove Splash screen for both iOS and Android in Xamarin.Forms?

Question

I'm new to Xamarin.Forms and was looking for a way to remove the Splash Screen and have my custom animated splash screen, does anyone have the idea about how to do it? Any help at all would be great!

Thanks

There is a blog post here that details how remove the default splash screen and replace this on iOS , Android , and WindowsPhone .

For example on the Android example, they are talking about creating a new Activity , prior to loading the default Activity that will launch the Xamarin.Forms App.

Using that approach will most likely also work in all other platforms. As you can do some platform-specific native animation set, prior to launching your real Xamarin.Forms App in your PCL .
