Background Color Always Black in react-native-skeleton-placeholder

[AsifNoushad03]

I'm encountering an issue with the react-native-skeleton-placeholder library. Despite installing the required dependencies (@react-native-masked-view/masked-view version ^0.3.1 and react-native-linear-gradient version ^2.8.3), the background color of the placeholder remains black and cannot be changed.

Issue: The background color of the placeholder is black and cannot be modified. The items within the placeholder are displaying correctly.

I have tried various solutions and configurations, but none have resolved the problem. Any guidance or fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Background Color Issue

[PunainenAurinko]

I am having the same issue on Android 14 and Android 15 recently. The issue is occurring on React Native 0.75.2. Not occurring on RN 0.74.5.

All the library versions have not changed, and they are pretty old at that.

• react-native-skeleton-placeholder v. 5.2.4
• react-native-linear-gradientn v. 2.8.3
• @react-native-masked-view/masked-view v. 0.3.1

This works fine for me on iOS 17.6 or iOS 18 beta.

Can somebody please take a look at this? Thanks!
