Same issue here, Splash Screen did not wait until "hide" function call and its hide automatically. Don't matter in IOS or Android. Any solutions for this issue?

I think you have forgot the native setup.

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import <Firebase.h>
#import "RNSplashScreen.h"
#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  self.moduleName = @"TrueCaller";
  // You can add your custom initial props in the dictionary below.
  // They will be passed down to the ViewController used by React Native.
  self.initialProps = @{};
  [FIRApp configure];
  bool didFinish=[super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions]; // added 
  [RNSplashScreen show];  // here
  return didFinish; // added 
}

- (NSURL *)sourceURLForBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge
{
#if DEBUG
  return [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index"];
#else
  return [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];
#endif
}

@end

One observation I have on the iOS simulator.
If you press "R" on the metro terminal to reload the app, it will autohide without waiting for the SplashScreen.hide() to be called. If you kill the app and relaunch instead of reloading, it will wait for the hide function to be called. Which should be fine given that you can only reload the app in this flow during development.
