Can't change Xamarin default blue splash screen on Apple physical devices - xamarin.ios

I'm realizing a new splash screen with Xamarin using Visual Studio 2022 (17.2.5) on Windows 10.
When I deploy the app on iPhone simulator or iPad simulator, the splash screen is the one I created, but when I deploy it on a physical device, no matter if iPhone or iPad, the Xamarin blue splash screen appears.
I tried to:
modify the default LaunchScreen.storyboard file (changing the background color);
remove the LaunchScreen.storyboard file and not reference it in the Info.plist;
create a new storyboard file with a different name and reference it in Info.plist;
delete the app from the physical devices and re-deploy it.
What Am I missing?
Thank you in advance

Android API 31 App Icon on Splash Screen too small

I have configured the API 31 (for Android 12) splash screen, using the Android Studio built-in image asset creator.
I have the app icon and branding image showing when the app comes up. However, the app icon on the splash screen is very small. Its original size is 1024pxx1024px, so nothing too tiny to begin with.
I tried to Resize its scaling to 120% - it did not do anything - see the below image:
What am I missing? what to do?
Thank you!
I don't know about Android studio built in image generator. But you can https://icon.kitchen/ for generating your app icons and all. It works great I prefer this.

default preview device and orientation

I am using Android Studio (BumbleBee 2021.1.1).
I have created a device in the Device Manager which corresponds to the physical tablet that I am connecting to each time.
However, each time I open up a project, the default view in the Design view is for a Pixel phone, in Portrait mode.
How can I set it to use my device in landscape mode, as the default, instead of having to manually set this every time I open the project?
Thanks

Initialrotationpreference does not apply to splash screen properly in windows 8.1 WinRT APP

In the Package.appxmanifest of a windows 8.1 winrt project, if you set the initial rotation preference as portrait
<m2:VisualElements DisplayName="SplashScreen" Square150x150Logo="Assets\Logo.png" Square30x30Logo="Assets\SmallLogo.png" Description="SplashScreen" ForegroundText="light" BackgroundColor="#464646">
<m2:SplashScreen Image="Assets\SplashScreen.png" />
<m2:InitialRotationPreference>
<m2:Rotation Preference="portrait" />
</m2:InitialRotationPreference>
</m2:VisualElements>
If the windows 8 / windows 8.1 / windows 10 tablet is held in landscape, the splash screen first shows up in landscape mode and then rotates to portrait mode, however the same issue is not observed for windows universal apps.
Is there a way to get the splash screen as portrait?
Has somebody faced this issue?

Emulator wrong screen resolution in Android Studio 1.3

I have updated to Android Studio 1.3 and I'm trying to make a test with Nexus 5 which has a resolution of 1080px x 1920px and when I start the emulator the icons are too big and when I run my app which has a banner of 320x50. This banner is nearly as wide as the screen!
Here is the emulator without any application running, where you can see a very big icons on the screen.
And here is a screenshot with an app which has a banner test of 320x50px
If I select "No Skin" in Custom Skin Definition, it doesn't work for me. In the later image you can see it.
Another example, this is what I see and what I want to see in Android Studio to a Tablet Nexus 7:
And this is what I've got to a Tablet Nexus 7 in Android Emulator: it's too big. Why does this happen?
In the Android Virtual Device Manager click "Create virtual device", select needed one and click the "Clone device" button. Then change "Default skin" to "No skin". Now save the profile and launch it.
