Hello,

Firstly, please open your project's csproj file, you can double click your project in VS, then csproj file will be opened. Remove <MauiSplashScreen Include="Resources\Splash\splash.svg" Color="#512BD4" BaseSize="128,128" /> line.

Then, create xml file called styles.xml in Platforms/Android/Resources/values folder and set the build action to AndroidResource manually.

Copy following style(hide the android native splash screen and the native navigationbar) code in styles.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<resources>


   <style name="MainTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight">


       <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Next, open your MainActivity.cs change the **Theme ** value to MainTheme.

  
[Activity(Theme = "@style/MainTheme", MainLauncher = true, ...)]

Then you can create a ContentPage called SplashPage and add controls that you want to show. change the MainPage in the App.xaml.cs

 public partial class App : Application
  {
      public App()
      {
          InitializeComponent();
         MainPage = new SplashPage();
      }
  }

In the end, Add code about changing MainPage in OnAppearing method of SplashPage.

public partial class SplashPage : ContentPage
{
    public SplashPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();


   }
    protected override async void OnAppearing()
    {
        base.OnAppearing();


       await  Task.Delay(2000).ContinueWith(t => {
          MainThread.InvokeOnMainThreadAsync(() => {

// I change the MainPage to AppShell, you can change whatever page that you want.
              Application.Current.MainPage=new AppShell();
          });


       });


   }
}
