For my app, I have a welcome screen, then the user gets into the app. I am using a background image too. When the user goes back into the app, after closing it down, then the splash screen comes up, then (for whatever odd reason) a black screen with a Glide spinner, then it is into the app. Is there something I am doing wrong - or is this 'expected functionality? Thanks! ---

Can you open the app in a browser where you can open the browser development tools (F12) and take a look at the console. I had this week also a black screen problem and in the console there was an error. Something about permission rights on a table. ---

and it is black as I have dark mode turned on… without it, it would be bright white (during the day) ---

fascinating! Is this all the non-referenced things in my Glide app? Things that are not used, etc? ![Screenshot 2021-04-24 at 17.33.16](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/5/a532d7bf244591132e6797f32f153b904af8e635.png) ---

If your app works like expected, who cares 😉 ---

true… I am trying to make things go a little faster, and make it feel a little less Glide-y (in a good way!)
