This is normal.  
It basicly loads the canvas that’s why it’s black for a second.

So will this behaviour be on published apps and web links as well?

I have the same behaviour, it is very annoying.

In addition to that, when I first time open the app, the canvas doesn’t event display anything, I have to close and reopen the app.

First time opening after install:

After closing and reopening:

Agreed not sure how can we make live apps with this issue?
