SplashScreenImage doesn't appear in Windows Phone app

Question

I use VS2015 and I want to add a splash screen to the Windows Phone 8.0 app. I have added to the root directory of my project image named SplashScreenImage.jpg in the size of 768x1280 (also tried with 480x800) and set the Build Action property of the image to Content, as suggested here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/ff769511%28v=vs.105%29.aspx and here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19450446/how-to-set-splash-screen-in-window-phone-8-application-development#=

For some reason it doesn't work. After run my application on the mobile emulator via VS, splash screen doesn't appear and application starts work normally, without showing splash screen.

You have to define your Custom Splash Screen in Manifest File of your application.
