The rule is that files included in drawable-vXX will only be included for devices running Android API Level XX and up. This tells Android to only include the resource in v26 and up. To maintain backwards compatibility with previous versions of Android (my GitTrends app currently supports Android API Levels 23+), we'll create a /drawable-v26/ folder for our new splash screen xml resource. However, the adaptive-icon API was added in Android API v26.

The new splash screen requires an adaptive-icon resource, similar to how we create icon.xml and icon-round.xml. You're welcome to leverage the templates I used in my Icon.sketch file: Step 2: Create a new adaptive-icon Add the new files to the corresponding drawable folder, eg /Resources/drawable-hdpi/, /Resources/drawable-xhdpi/, etcįor my app, GitTrends, I used the tool Sketch to create my new Splash Screen images.Inside each new file, for each display density, center the app icon inside of a 192dp-radius circle.Use dp to px calculator to determine the pixel size for each screen density.For each display density, create a new.These are the steps I followed for GitTrends: The splash screen icon should match our app's icon and it should reside inside of a 192dp circle centered inside of a 288dp png file. Android already makes us create multiple images for each screen density (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi, xxxhdpi, etc), and we need to do it again for our new Splash Screen icon. Here's an example from : v12.1 Step 1: Create New Images In the Android csproj file, eg, ensure TargetFrameworkVersion is set to v12.0 or higher (as of publishing this, the current stable release of Android is v12.1). Here's an example from GitTrends' AndroidMainifest.xml: In AndroidManifest.xml, ensure the android:targetSdkVersion is 31 or higher (as of publishing this, the current stable release of Android is API Level 32).

Step 0: Target Android API 31+ AndroidManifest.xml It's a subtle difference (once fixed), but you'll notice the new splash screen now exactly matches the GitTrends icon and is a smaller dpi due to Android's new splash screen restrictions: Before Android v12.0 Here's an example of how the splash screen looks in my open-source Xamarin.Forms app, GitTrends, before and after Android v12.0.

Strange, right? Well that's apparently how Android wants it because that's what they're forcing us to do! If you're an Android user, you may have noticed that, starting with Android v12.0, when you launch an app its Splash Screen now just looks like it's logo.
