Splashscreen displays black screen with no image on Android

I have no idea where else to pose this issue as the GitHub page directs you here.

As soon as I upgraded the cordova-plugin-splashscreen to the latest v3.1 The splash image would no longer display. Many efforts to find a solution have failed. Reverting back to version 3.0.0 causes the splash screen to work again. Not sure if this is an isolated issue, or if this is happening to other developers.
