remove splash screen assets

[Andrew_G_1]

I'm trying to remove the splash screen assets in XDK 2807. I can remove the splash screen plugin, but the files are still listed in the config.xml. Of course, manually deleting them from there has no effect as XDK adds them back.

Any tips? I don't want a splash screen at all. I can add a 0 delay and auto close options, but would rather not include the plugin at all if I'm not going to use it.

Unfortunately, there is no true "removal" mechanism in the XDK UI to remove those splash screen images from your project. You have to hand edit the <project-name>.xdk file that is in the root folder of your project directory. Do this with a text editor (e.g., Sublime, Notepad++, Brackets, etc.) and only when the XDK is NOT running; do not use a word processor to edit these files! If you open that file you'll see that it is a JSON file. Locate the references to your splash screens in this file and change them so they look like this:

        "splashes_": [],

Thanks Paul, that did the trick.
