Description

reopened issue #2834

Description
I used a basic example from the documentation to draw a line using the Points component. The app crashes upon attempting to reload using the reloadAppAsync() function from expo. I have not tested other examples. Note that the application may not crash on the first attempt; sometimes, it requires multiple reloads to reproduce the issue. The crash occurs both in Expo Go and in the release build (tested on iOS)

In my real project, where I render many elements using the skia library, the crash happens consistently on every reload attempt.

In the video, you can see the app flickering — this happens when I press the "Reload app" text. On one of the reloads, the app crashes.

React Native Skia Version

1.11.3

React Native Version

0.76.6

Using New Architecture

  • Enabled

Steps to Reproduce

I updated my example project here to upgrade the Skia version to 1.11.3, but I am still encountering errors.

  1. install packages with yarn install
  2. then yarn start
  3. for testing scan qr code in console

The only version that works without issues in a pure Expo project is 1.5.

We're also facing the same issue, whenever installing expo-update and reloading the app using reloadAsync.
Here is the sentry stacks trace. Though it only happens for us on Android

@wcandillon could you take a look at this crash. it's crashing our app at an alarming rate. happy to provide a repro if that helps!

I've been looking into this (see #3178) and cc'ing @terrysahaidak who is affected by the issue as well.
I was able to reproduce the crash you are mentioning on oldArch and Android. Can you confirm as well that this is on oldArch only?
I spent a bit of time debugging it without getting to anything sensible yet. My original hunch was to not invest too much time on it since the future is newArch. But I forgot that this also affects over the air updates.

are you still on 76? for me 76 worked fine, but I had crashes on 77 when metro reloads the app in debug.

We're on RN 0.79.2 and skia 2.0.1

I found this issue in react native 77+. It's possible that skia is actually the first to crash and get the stack trace.

it could be but isn't this issue related to debug mode and not the release mode?
