ok bot…as if upgrading to the latest RN version is such an easy task…

@guyca at Wix said that they use in MainApplication.java

 @Override
    public boolean clearHostOnActivityDestroy() {
        return false;
    }

in Wix app which fixes a lot of issues when external activities/apps are launched, which might be the issue if you’re using a camera component. Has anyone of you using it in your app?

If you do decide to give it a try, you will need to change the app startup as mentioned here for Android.

I have updated my app with the above changes and trying to reproduce the bug again. Haven’t been successful yet which is a good sign I guess.

Also, I started to see this issue after I updated to RNN .295 from RNN .253. Not sure if that rings a bell for anyone else.
