Description

First error that led me here:

Console

Warning: A more recent version of cordova-plugin-splashscreen has been hooked into for compatibility reasons. Update the plugin to version >= 4.
cordova.js (925,13)
Exception calling native with command :: SplashScreen :: hide ::exception=ReferenceError: 'extendedSplashScreen' is undefined
cordova.js (993,13)

I looked around the codebase to check for that variable, found it here:

.\platforms\windows\platform_www\css\splashscreen.css
.\platforms\windows\platform_www\cordova.js
.\platforms\windows\platform_www\cordova-js-src\splashscreen.js
.\platforms\windows\www\cordova-js-src\splashscreen.js
.\platforms\windows\www\css\splashscreen.css
.\platforms\windows\www\cordova.js

The most interesting one being any of the two splashscreen.js

The variable extendedSplashScreen is never defined.

I find out that by adding the bollowing in my body, the error goes away:

<div id="extendedSplashScreen"></div>

However, the extended splashscreen still seems not to work.

I suspected the `cordova-plugin-splashscreen` to be the culprit, but removing it from cordova led to the same error.

I will keep investigating and report my findings here.
