react-three-fiber / react-native not working

[ifNaNpass]

Hello React-Three-Fiber Team.

First of all huge fan of what you all are doing and this is my first post on github so please don't be too mad, if I do something out of the norm...

My problem:

I tried to transition one of my projects from web to phone ( in this case simulated Iphone devices from Apple Xcode with react-native ), by using the instructions from your main page ( https://docs.pmnd.rs/react-three-fiber/getting-started/installation ). The thing is I get no errors, but still get a blank white screen and whatever I do, I can't get it to run. Even by copying examples ( https://snack.expo.dev/@bacon/728f26?platform=ios ).

Instructions used:

npx create-expo-app expo install expo-gl npm install three @react-three/fiber

• ( example code for the scene from the main page )

My dependencies:

"dependencies": { "@react-three/fiber": "^8.3.1", "expo": "~46.0.7", "expo-gl": "~11.4.0", "expo-status-bar": "~1.4.0", "react": "18.0.0", "react-native": "0.69.4", "three": "^0.143.0" }

I know this might be a stackoverflow question, but I though the official documentations might not be up to date and so it would be more helpful for other people to post it here.

Sorry for the delay, looking into this. I'll double-check our docs, but in the meantime, you can consult https://github.com/CodyJasonBennett/r3f-native-starter.

I have the same problem with latest react native and react-three-fiber. Downgraded to these, but still doesn't work:

        "@react-three/fiber": "^8.3.0",
        "expo": "~46.0.9",
        "expo-gl": "~11.4.0",
        "react": "18.0.0",
        "react-native": "0.69.5",
        "three": "^0.143.0"

The example https://snack.expo.dev/@bacon/728f26?platform=ios fails:

upd: used https://docs.pmnd.rs/react-three-fiber/getting-started/installation#react-native instructions and got the same result as @ifNaNpass: an empty white screen without errors

  "dependencies": {
    "@react-three/fiber": "^8.7.2",
    "expo": "~46.0.9",
    "expo-gl": "~11.4.0",
    "expo-status-bar": "~1.4.0",
    "react": "18.0.0",
    "react-native": "0.69.5",
    "three": "^0.144.0"
  }

in addition tested it on bare RN, got same result again

See https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber/issues/2546#issuecomment-1587381648 for the discrepancy on Apple simulators.
