Description

Hi there, since I upgraded to react native 0.57 I receive some crashes on Android. It’s not reproducable, but If I e.g reload a list over and over again the app crashes at some point (sometimes it takes 100 tries, sometimes only 2 or 3). The exception is always a JSApplicationIllegalArgumentException. But with different properties (height, width, paddingHorizontal, …). I have no glue where it is coming from, because the crashes also occure on different places in the app.

If you need more information I’m glad to help.

Thanks David

The stacktrace from sentry looks like this:

Reproducible Demo

[Kamill90]

I can confirm. Crashlytics gives us more and more this kind of report since we have upgraded react-native to 0.57 Most common crashes are: Fatal Exception: com.facebook.react.bridge.JSApplicationIllegalArgumentException Error while updating property 'marginBottom' in shadow node of type: RCTText

Fatal Exception: com.facebook.react.bridge.JSApplicationIllegalArgumentException Error while updating property 'bottom' in shadow node of type: RCTView

Fatal Exception: com.facebook.react.bridge.JSApplicationIllegalArgumentException Error while updating property 'paddingHorizontal' in shadow node of type: RCTView

Fatal Exception: com.facebook.react.bridge.JSApplicationIllegalArgumentException Error while updating property 'fill' of a view managed by: RNSVGPath

Is there any workaround /solution /planned bugfix for that?

[HarikaSabbella]

We are seeing a lot of these crashes in Android and are on RN 59.10. Are there any plans to fix this soon?
