iOS splash screen

I tried turning off all openstack and opencard scripts. Nothing I do 
prevents that black screen from showing up on my iPhone 6+. I'll have to 
settle with using the splash screen tied in through the IOS settings 
page, then going directly to the first main navigational card in my 
stack. At least this way, the app starts up by immediately showing the 
splash screen, followed by a brief one second black screen, then the 
main navigational screen.

The problem seemed dependent on  actions (and a visual effect) that happened during the openCard handler. When I used send in time to call these events the black flash went away. In my case waiting 10 milliseconds made the problem intermittent.  100 milliseconds seems to have cured it. Exactly what the problem was I never (unfortunately) bothered to discover.
