Video
Device & Versions (please complete the following information)
UnNormal Behavior Devices - Galaxy Note 10 / OS 12, Galaxy S10+ / OS 12
We have noticed the same blinking issue, happening more on Pixel devices. We have since reverted to the Skia renderer.
Hello Again.
Rive Developer was helped this issue. So I checked that unnormal behavior devices(Galaxy Note 10 / OS 12, Galaxy S10+ / OS 12) to be normal in version 10.0.5.
So I released my application and this bug is come again. I have to downgrade version 10.0.5 > 9.13.5 again.
Recently Unnormal Behavior Device is SM-S721N / OS 14.
Please check this bug again. Thank you.

I am also facing the same issue tried 10.0.5 and 10.1.0 and issue is reproducible on both versions. Device is android 8.0 samsung galaxy s8
I realized that SM-S721N / OS 14 is keep happened in version 9.13.5. So I downgrade version 9.13.5 > 9.10.1. Then this bug is solved.
So version 9.13.5 is already happended kind of this bug.

@blueparkyanadoocorp are you saying that you enabled the Rive renderer on 9.13.5 and saw this issue? But on 9.10.1 with the Rive renderer also, the issue is not there?
@blueparkyanadoocorp we have been compiling and running your ComposeActivity.kt sample on various devices, including Galaxy S8, Galaxy S9, and Galaxy A8, but no luck yet with a repro. Are you able to share a fully compilable Android project that shows the repro? I would LOVE to fix this but still just can't get a repro!
Ok, great news! I managed to get a repro on Galaxy A8, from before 10.0.5:

I've also verified that this specific issue was fixed with https://github.com/rive-app/rive-runtime/commit/8d856edaf4ba8ec51b11f2b754987b1eb8fc54eb, which landed in 10.0.5:

@blueparkyanadoocorp can you describe the issue you're seeing after 10.0.5? Is it the same or something different?
@csmartdalton Hello I mistaken that version 9.13.5 is problem with Skia Renderer. But I used version 9.13.5 with Rive Renderer.
So To summarize by Galaxy S24 FE(SM-S721N / OS 14)
rive version 9.13.5 + Skia Renderer -> O rive version 9.13.5 + Rive Renderer -> X(has blinking issue) rive version 10.1.4 + Rive Renderer -> X(has blinking issue)
Recently Rive version still has same issue. And this problem can be reproduced with the rive-android sample, and the bug has been confirmed by applying the same rive files Add to Compose Activity.
Thank you.
Hi @blueparkyanadoocorp I've also confirmed that the issue appears to be resolved using the latest version of the runtime. Tested on a Galaxy S24 SM-921B/DS, which has an Exynos CPU, which is what had the issue.

On our side, we're not able to reproduce this issue anymore. If you're still encountering it can you please provide a full sample project reproducing the issue (maybe it's contingent on other factors).
@HayesGordon Hi, I try to upload android sample made in zip. but this is too big so I can't upload it. So I upload sample project in my repository. (sample) But please note that is same with rive android sample.
And Please refer to the photo and video below. Thank you.

I'm having the same issue with the Rive renderer on the Samsung S24+ SM-S926B/DS (Exynos edition) after upgrading to Android 15. There were noticeable FPS drops on Android 14, but now all Rive animations are completely broken (10.1.4, native android runtime).
I've noticed, that the issue persists even when viewing animations with rive renderer on the web (same device).

I am receiving the same jarring on our Cars24 India Consumer App, only on a specific device: Samsung S24, Android 15. I have tried using the latest version of Rive and even using Canvas renderer on Android but does not seem to help with this issue. I am curious at this point, is this issue only related to this specific device or has anyone faced the same on any other devices too? This is a potential deal breaker for us so I am actively looking for solutions, is their a temp workaround I can try?

@sarthak-cars24 Until now I am using rive = "9.10.1" riveStartUp = "1.2.0" and Skia Renderer🥲
Update on the issue, seems like its breaking on Samsung phones running Android 15 on Exynos. @blueparkyanadoocorp Can you confirm if you are facing any other issues on 9.10.1?
I have fallen back to use version 9.11.1 with Skia this increases app size by 2.61 MB and is not a long term solution, but does the job for now.
Hey, guys any update on the issue. This seems to be happening on Rive Renderer and mostly noticed on Samsung's Exynos based devices. Its rapidly becoming a problem for adoption. Would love to resolve this somehow as switching to Skia is triggering app size concerns.

Hello
I tried to latest version(10.2.1) then app is crashed. But logcat didn't showed to me any exception logs. So I don't know why app is crashed.
I tried to open my application a couple times after app was crashed and then app crash was dissapeared.
So I decied to maintain my rive version(9.10.1) until next version will release.

The latest 10.2.1 version has fixed my graphics issues on exynos S24 android 15 but now the app crashes like mentioned.
Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1 (SEGV_MAPERR), fault addr 0xffffffff in tid 12286 (Profile Saver), pid 12270
Is this happening on app start? Or later in running the app?
Later. A couple of seconds need to past. Our app has a login feature and on login a rive animation is shown as a progress indicator and that now works great. After login the login activity is destroyed and home screen activity is shown that has a rive animation that acts as a button and it also runs great. If you stay idly on that screen, after a couple of seconds the app will crash with the previous mentioned error.
We recently released https://github.com/rive-app/rive-android/releases/tag/10.3.1 which addresses an issue that was introduced in later versions, and likely the cause of the above mentioned crash.
I'm marking this issue as resolved (the rendering bug).
If you're experiencing other issues on the latest version, please open a new issue for us to track.
