I was finally able to eliminate the splash flash, but I had to use Cordova to do it. Here are the steps I took:

In Terminal:

cordova create ~/path/to/project “com.appname.app” “appName”
cd ~/path/to/project
cordova platform add ios
cordova build
cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-splashscreen.git
cordova build

Use Finder to navigate to ~/path/to/project/platforms/ios/ and double-click projectname.xcodeproj to open the project in Xcode.

Next, I went in and edited the images. You could do it any number of ways. Here's what I did: In Xcode, navigate to Resources/splash/, right-click the image to change, select Show in Finder and use whatever tools you want to change the images.

.

From the Xcode main menu, select Product > Clean and then Product > Build.

Worked for me repeatedly. I was able to then use the navigator.splashscreen.show() and navigator.splashscreen.hide() methods from my app (which didn't seem to be responding without going through all these steps).

Hope this helps!
