Same issue here.
But there is no such problem in release mode.

[yashafromrussia]

This happens to me in release mode as well as in debug. The reason it might not be happening to you in release mode is that various optimizations are turned on, thus it should take less time to launch the app.

When we launch the splash screen, we make various network requests. And we hide the splash screen when those requests have been resolved. If that takes too long, the app crashes. I've been able to reproduce this by setting a 30 seconds timeout on the server.

According to Apple - https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2151/_index.html:

The exception code 0x8badf00d indicates that an application has been terminated by iOS because a watchdog timeout occurred. The application took too long to launch, terminate, or respond to system events. One common cause of this is doing synchronous networking on the main thread. Whatever operation is on Thread 0 needs to be moved to a background thread, or processed differently, so that it does not block the main thread.

So this makes me think that all of our javascript code that's executing the network requests is doing so on the main thread synchronously... Or the splash screen is blocking the main thread

[EmpireJones]

I think this is the same issue as #397

The fix there resolved this issue for me -- replacing:
[RNSplashScreen show]
with
[RNSplashScreen showSplash:@"LaunchScreen" inRootView:rootView];

The readme seems to mention those two options, but doesn't explain them.

Thank @gorjuspixels !! Your solution work. I lost much time for finding problem with my app and finally resolved.
