Android 9: App crashes if hardware acceleration is enabled

See original GitHub issue

Bug description: Our app crashes on Android 9 if the hardware acceleration was used in the webview. If I disable the hardware acceleration on the embedded webviews the app works fine. If I disable the acceleration in the AndroidManifest the app also works without crashes. So I think it has something to do with the webview implementation and their usage of the hardware acceleration on Android 9.

To Reproduce: The bug occurse in our currently productive app. The repository could be found here: postillonmedia/app

Expected behavior: The app should not crash when the acceleration is enabled 😄

Got the same issue here (Android 8, RN 0.59.10, RNN 2.22.3), one way to “fix” it without disabling animation on react-native-navigation or disabling it, application wide (via android:hardwareAccelerated="false" on manifest) is to just disable hw acceleration only on webview by setting androidHardwareAccelerationDisabled prop

<WebView
  androidHardwareAccelerationDisabled
  source={source}
/>

Disabling the animation in React-Navigation worked for me. If you are on React-Navigation 5, here is how to do it:

<NavigationContainer>
     <Stack.Navigator initialRouteName="HomeScreen">
          <Stack.Screen
            name="HomeScreen"
            component={HomeScreen}
            options={{
              animationEnabled: false,
            }}
          />
     </Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
