React-native-navigation: [V2] iOS app stuck on launch screen

[nvmakarov]

Issue Description

First of all, thank you for your hard work on the plugin.

The application is stuck on launch screen if there is no image with a specific name for the launch screen.

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets / Screenshots

It is enough to run the application without the required image of the launch screen.

https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation/blob/62f6dbaa366855832b1b343acf1ff8ba1e135bfa/lib/ios/RNNSplashScreen.m#L69

If the image file is not found, the viewController is not initialized and not passed condition above in the RNNSplashScreen.m file. I thought the problem might be because of this, and when I added the code below before condition, everything worked as it should.

if (viewController == nil) {
        viewController = [[RNNSplashScreen alloc] init];
}

I moved splashscreen.hide() to inside appDidLaunch, instead of waiting for setRoot, and that seemed to help. It's only like this in debug for me. Once splash hides, i turn on remote debugging and the slowness/stuck issue goes away

[nvmakarov]

I already use the react-native-splash-screen plugin if you are talking about it. It does not help. I think that it is necessary to find a more correct solution related to the react-native-navigation plugin.

This happens on a fresh version.

react-native: 0.58.6
react-native-navigation: ^2.13.1

1 - Create a new app
2 - Install on ios as described here
3 - Start Successfully
4 - Refresh the app
5 - App Stuck on default loading splash

[kriptonhaz]

just happened with fresh version

react-native: 0.59.1
react-native-navigation: ^2.14.0
xcode: 9.1

whenever start on the simulator if the app is fresh installed it's always got stuck on the first screen (I set a loading screen as the first screen), but if the app already in there and run again from xcode or just reload directly in the simulator it's work again.

@kriptonhaz, you have also another problem, if you try to archive Xcode 9 it will get error, you can fix it only with Xcode10.

[kriptonhaz]

@alpamys-qanybet so if I use Xcode10 it will solve this whole issue?

[iksent]

I am using Xcode 10.1 and have the same problem.

[amed]

It seems that AppDelegate.m launchOptions order has something to do with it. 😕

[alpamys-qanybet]

@kriptonhaz, @iksent, @amed, I just overall come with this stack: RN0.59.1, RNN0.1.x(needs some extra coding) in detail:
ios: RN0.59.1 compatibility

solution

[alpamys-qanybet]

@kriptonhaz, @iksent, @amed, also there are some workarounds on android for http load and etc, but facing specific problem you can luckily get the answer.

@kriptonhaz @amed @dobrynia @iksent I'm stuck with this issue too, I tried downgrading to [email protected] and I encounter the same issue.

Did you manage to get it working?
