Is this library dead? Having crashes with built apps.
💬 Question
With Expo Go, everything works as expected. However, when I make an apk, the app constantly crashes on pages with the Select component, Modal component, and Calendar component. This is very frustrating because of the time I've spent throwing together my app only to have it be unusable and unbuildable. I noticed that the last commit was in mid 2023. Is this ever going to be updated to support the latest react-native LTS or is that too much to ask? There are so many pending PRs that are just ignored.
UI Kitten and Eva version
| Package | Version |
|---|---|
| @eva-design/eva | ^2.2.0 |
| @ui-kitten/components | ^5.3.1 |
| @react-native | ^0.76.3 |
| @expo | ^52.0.11 |
If you're creating a new project, it's better to avoid this. Library isn't actively maintained and there are a lot of unresolved bugs on the current version too. With time, this will just increase tech debt on you.
Dis somebody found out why it crashes on Expo 52 and 53? Currently updating an app and it works well in expo go / dev client builds. But crashss on prod / stage/preview builds.
Probably incompatibility with the new architecture, from the top of my head
What architecture changes you mean?
And why they only effects stage, prod builds not the dev client builds?
It may be an issue with onMeasure calls on those elements. You could try the patch here https://github.com/akveo/react-native-ui-kitten/issues/1813#issuecomment-2919230197 I have a working Expo 53 app with those elements, but issues continue to build for UI Kitten. It desperately needs some updates.
