Do not hide app cover in the middle of app start process
Current app starting sequence seems to be the following:
- Show default app cover with "Loading" label
- Remove default app cover
- Bring app to front
- Use whichever cover app wants (probably, you don't see it until app is minimized)
And that is sort of okay except some apps can take time to start. For example, Maps can be particularly slow and sometimes it takes a second or two from the moment Loading app cover is removed till app is shown on screen. Then it totally looks like app failed to start and sometimes I even try starting it again.
Even without so extreme cases whenever there is noticeable app cover removal during app start process it feels like something wrong happened and your context is shuffled for no reason.
