1. Install the `@capacitor/splash-screen` plugin and sync Capacitor.
2. Configure basic splash screen settings in `capacitor.config.ts` (e.g., `launchShowDuration`, `backgroundColor`).
3. Generate splash screen assets using `@capacitor/assets` or manually create images in the required sizes.
4. Configure the iOS storyboard (`LaunchScreen.storyboard`) or Android XML styles (`styles.xml`) for the splash screen.
5. Implement programmatic control using `SplashScreen.show()` and `SplashScreen.hide()` for advanced customization.
6. Test the splash screen on both iOS and Android devices, including dark mode support.
