[SOLVED] Splash API throws You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity

I'm trying to follow this android documentation on using their Splash API so my splash screen can work on any version of android I support and I'm hitting a wall. I followed it exactly and I keep getting this when I debug my app:

You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState, persistentState)

    // Keep the splash screen visible for this Activity
    splashScreen.setKeepOnScreenCondition { true }

    // ... rest of my app's code
}

I believe I followed how it's meant to be setup, so I'm just lost at this point on why it's not working at all and throwing a fit.
