React Native Reanimated is being a turd on Android! 🤖
Software Developer with over 7 years of experience building Mobile Apps and Websites. Founder of multiple startups, two of which have been featured in Forbes and one that won the Cellerant Best of Class Technology Award for emerging dental products.
Today, I have been messing around with React Native Reanimated 2 again and found a bug that's really frustrating.
While the header animation was working perfectly fine on iOS, on Android, it was very lagging and creating weird flickering problems.
At first, I didn't realize what could be the issue, but after going through some GitHub issues I found that it was related to animating the View height.

This is not the first time I encounter problems like this where it works perfectly fine on iOS while Android is being a turd... 😾
I hope in the feature less and less bugs will happen between 2 different platforms as it could take a lot of time trying to figure out what is the issue and how to fix it.
But, that was it for today folks. I will see you tomorrow! 😊
p.s 🤫 I recently started a podcast called The Anxious Developer where I share my knowledge on how to reduce your stress, become more present and productive as a Developer. I would love to hear your thoughts on it! 😊
Remember, you are worthy, you are loved and you matter! Have a great day! ❤️
