@mfazekas since ReadableArray is now optional: https://reactnative.dev/blog/2025/01/21/version-0.77#android several changes needs to take place. How we should proceed from here?

On package.json the minimum version "react-native": ">=0.59.9", is this still possible 🤔 ? What is the minimum react-native version supported? Asking because LayoutShadowNode was introduced on rn@0.72.x and it's a requirement on 0.77.

@efstathiosntonas thanks much for looking into it. We can bump and should bump min version to 0.72.

[mfazekas]

@efstathiosntonas question, have you reread those generated code with 0.77? Or you've modified the code by hand?

[efstathiosntonas]

Yes, I've modified by hand and tested them on my app while running 0.77.

The logs from them linked issue are half way there, if you get past these errors then the errors about BaseViewManagerInterface start to kick in.

[efstathiosntonas]

@mfazekas I would like your help in fixing the optional ReadableArray, the logs from the linked issue got all the info we need. Can you pleaaaaaaase pick up from here?

[efstathiosntonas]

@mfazekas if you're wondering where the delegators changes came from, all major libraries have applied them to support 0.77, eg. svg

I uploaded our patch on the issue that contains the changes from this PR but rebased to the latest published version, along with a Kotlin/AppCompat build error fix: #3753 (comment)

It is working for our use case (details in my comment).

I can confirm the patch is working: #3753 (comment)

[flessard]

[cixio]

Since rnmapbox doesn't work without this patch, it would make sense to merge this pull request as soon as possible.

Can you confirm if it works in production? I remember that some guy told that it worked on development build but not in production.

How to install that patch?

[danielfamiyeh]

@umardev500 - Putting at the patch root RN project directory and running
patch -p1 < "@rnmapbox+maps+10.1.38.patch"
worked for me. I'm using a Mac so I think patch is a unix util.

My internal testers report that it is working in Production. My device is actually crashing at launch, though.

Its working perfectly in my production build.

same thing happening to me

[RyanTG]

Maybe it's not consistent across devices. Only in a production build (not expo development build), experiencing a consistent crash on some devices, while others do not experience any issues. There seem to be a lot of people in here, across a few different issues and PRs, experiencing this production-only crash.

I tried looking at logcat, but it wasn't clear to me what the issue was.

this was fixed in this PR: #3855

Closing

[zegenerative]

#3855 crashes ios

[efstathiosntonas]

@zegenerative have you tried/patched this PR and it won’t crash on iOS or you’re just saying generally that it crashes on iOS?
