[andreialecu]

Description

I found this logged on Sentry and it seems to mention a Reanimated stack trace.

Android 10, OnePlus model GM1925 (QKQ1.190716.003)

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first.

Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snippet of code, a snack or a link to a GitHub repository that reproduces the problem?

Same stack trace here, I can say that the device in question is also OnePlus. I can't reproduce it in the emulator (I know how the user triggers it). So might be brand specific? Not sure.

[robertwt7]

I am actually experiencing this issue as well on production and emulator.

It happens only at app start though, I have to close the app the re-open it to reproduce.

Reloading / refreshing does not make the emulator crash.

I think this is also related to this: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/27552

No updates on this? The library is basically unusable in the latest version of Expo sdk.

Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snack or a link to a GitHub repository under your username that reproduces the problem?

[abitling]

@robertwt7 Were you able to find any solution or a possible work around for this issue? We are also facing same issue as you, happens once per launch/install on Android.

[el-banna]

We faced the same stack trace sometimes upon reloading the app. In our case, we are using wix's react-native-navigation library (v7.26.0)

Updating react-native-navigation to the latest version seems to fix it.
