SDK 21 - Splash Screen Image doesn't show up

Expo SDK
1

I’ve updated my app to SDK 21, and I can’t seem to get the splash screen image to appear after building to a standalone iOS app. When the standalone app loads in iOS it opens with my background color, fades to white, then fades to my app started. This takes about 1 second (which is better than SDK 20), but I don’t see any splash image now.

Here’s the related piece of my app.json file:

{
  "expo": {
    "sdkVersion": "21.0.0",
    "ios": {
      "splash": {
        "backgroundColor": "#ffbb37",
        "icon": "./app/assets/images/splash-screen.png",
        "resizeMode": "cover"
      }
    }
  }
}

The image I’m trying to use is a 2048x2048 .png image.

Here’s a segment of my dependencies, in case I missed something during the update:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "expo": "^21.0.0",
    "react": "16.0.0-alpha.12",
    "react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-21.0.2.tar.gz",
  }
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I noticed the splash prop in app.json is now a child of "ios", which it wasn’t isn SDK 20, did I set it up incorrectly? Thanks in advance.
