`sharedElements` function is not called when using alphav2 stack navigator

First of all: Thank you for creating this amazing library

I played around for about an hour now but couldn’t get it to work. Things I’ve done:

• Installed both libs
• pod install (RN 0.60, React Navigation 4)
• Recompiled app
• added shared navigator (it’s nested in a Tab navigator maybe thats the problem?)

 Exercises: createSharedElementStackNavigator(createStackNavigator, {
     Exercises,
     Exercise
 }),

• Added on both screens Exercises and Exercise

<SharedElement id="testing">
    <Text>{exercise.name}</Text>
</SharedElement>

• And finally added the sharedElements static method (also tried in both files)

Exercises.sharedElements = () => {
  console.log("i am here");
  return "testing"
};

Sadly I don’t see anything changed. App runs as normal but no animations between the screens. Did I do anything wrong?

Thanks 😃

Well what I would do in your case, is try and repro it with the smallest app possible. In this case that would probably mean to add a switchNavigator to the RN60 demo and see whether that causes the problem. I don’t think so though cause I also have a switch and tab-navigator in my app, and it works for me. Perhaps also try deleting node_modules and your yarn.lock to ensure you’re really using the same deps. And also perform a yarn start --reset-cache

Ah that explains it. Yeah v2 is still in alpha and things like certain lifecycle events are not working correctly with that yet
