> @breautek So I tried both just removing the AppCompat theme from the item
in the config file as well as adding it as an AndroidPostSplashScreenTheme in .
In both cases I'm getting this error.

Something else could be interfering. The cordova CLI sets up the native
project, and you can view the AndroidManifest at
`<cordovaProject>/platforms/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`. It
**should** have `android:theme="@style/Theme.App.SplashScreen"` on the activity
element. If it doesn't, you'll have problems.
Although the error seems like it's actually passing the splashscreen stage
is now trying to render the main activity. `CordovaActvity` extends
`AppCompatActivity`, which is why I think it reqiures a `Theme.AppCompat` theme
(like `Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar`)
You can check
`<cordovaProject/platforms/android/app/src/main/res/values/themes.xml`.
It should contain:
```
<item name="postSplashScreenTheme">@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar</item>
```
Where the assigned theme is controlled by the `AndroidPostSplashScreenTheme`
preference, but it defaults to `@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar`. If this is
set to a non `AppCompat` theme, then I expect it's the source of your current
year.
If you have a plugin or something overriding the `themes.xml` file, it must
produce something that has the following:
```xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<resources>
<style name="Theme.App.SplashScreen"
parent="Theme.SplashScreen.IconBackground">
<item
name="windowSplashScreenBackground">@color/cdv_splashscreen_background</item>
<item
name="windowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon">@drawable/ic_cdv_splashscreen</item>
<item name="windowSplashScreenAnimationDuration">200</item>
<item
name="postSplashScreenTheme">@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar</item>
</style>
</resources>
```
