+## Disable image packaging
+
+For troubleshooting purposes, image resource packaging can be disabled by setting the `$(EnableMauiImageProcessing)` build property to `false` in the first `<PropertyGroup>` node in your project file:
+
+```xml
+<EnableMauiImageProcessing>false</EnableMauiImageProcessing>

+## Generate a blank splash screen
+
+For troubleshooting purposes, a blank splash screen can be generated if you don't have a `<MauiSplashScreen>` item and you don't have a custom splash screen. This can be achieved by setting the `$(EnableBlankMauiSplashScreen)` build property to `true` in the first `<PropertyGroup>` node in your project file:
+
+```xml
+<EnableBlankMauiSplashScreen>true</EnableBlankMauiSplashScreen>
+```
+
+Generating a blank splash screen will override any custom splash screen and will cause app store rejection. However, it can be a useful approach in testing to ensure that your app UI is correct.

 ## Resize an image
 
 Devices have a range of screen sizes and densities and each platform has functionality for displaying density-dependent images. The base size of an image represents the baseline density of the image, and is effectively the 1.0 scale factor for the image (the size you would typically use in your code to specify the image size) from which all other density sizes are derived. If you don't specify the base size for a bitmap image, the image isn't resized. If you don't specify a base size for a vector image, such as an SVG file, the dimensions specified in the image are used as the base size.
