Menu
I've been trying to get a splash screen for my web app to appear on iOS devices. When i load up the app after adding it to my home screen I get a white screen and nothing loads. However if i move the meta tags below my icons and splash screens the app will load up fine but the splash screen will not load. The icons work for all devices no matter where the code is.
Below is the code that i have at the moment:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"/>
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black"/>

The reason for the long href which includes google drive links is because I have the site on google dive for testing purposes. It basically represents the website address.
<--EDIT-->
Here is what the code looks like now I have renamed some of the files and moved them. I noticed that the google drive address was not needed.

The icons work fine on any device I try the app on. However the splash screen still will not work.
There is only one page that says HELLO WORLD!. When it is added to the home screen the icon works but the splash screen does not.

iOS comes with a built-in function called launch image. This image is automatically displayed when user opens the app and disappeared until the app is fully ready to use. You can simply specify your splash screen as launch image in Xcode and it will handle the rest for you.
What they see on the screen for a couple of moments while the app is launching (almost instantly and even offline) is called Progressive Web App splash screen (aka start-up image). Chrome creates this image using your PWA manifest and for the default PWA splash screen Android reserves a blank white screen.
Splash Screens for iOSIt's required to design splash screens for iPad devices at native resolutions.
A splash screen is a graphical control element consisting of a window containing an image, a logo, and the current version of the software. A splash screen can appear while a game or program is launching. A splash page is an introduction page on a website.
As per Marconi's answer on Mulitple “apple-touch-startup-image” resolutions for iOS web app (esp. for iPad)?, try these for the splash screen meta tags instead: (You'll still need to iPhone 6 & 6 Plus tags)
