Phonegap 3.1 on iOS hide splash screen manually

Question

I have the following in my config.xml file:

<preference name="splashscreen" value="splash" />
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000" />
<preference name="auto-hide-splash-screen" value="false" />
<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false" />
<preference name="FadeSplashScreen" value="true" />
<preference name="fade-splash-screen-duration" value="5000" />
<preference name="splash-screen-duration" value="5000" />

<gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.splashscreen" />

<feature name="SplashScreen">
    <param name="ios-package" value="CDVSplashScreen"/>
    <param name="onload" value="true" />
</feature>

and on initializing my app I have the following:

setTimeout(function() {
    navigator.splashscreen.hide();
}, 2500);

I've also installed the splash screen plugin using the instructions found here

despite this the splash screen is not delayed and instead a white screen flashes before my app loads. Any help appreciated!

Are you running the app in debug with xcode? Are there any messages output?

I've had this issue before and got a warning saying "The splashscreen image named Default-Portrait was not found"

My splash screen was named something else, so I created another called "Default-Portrait" and added it to the project.

Same goes for the @2x version.
