I have the following versions in my React-Native app:

• react-native: 0.57.8
• react: 16.6.3
• Android: 4.4.2

The main problem is that, this exception does not have a certain case, it just happens anywhere in the app. For example, while you've been in the app for a while, and then try to go to a screen, it crashes with this exception.

I have searched a lot about IllegalViewOperationException.

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/13984 -> The issue here suggest to remove LayoutAnimation however I've totally removed it from my project and I'm still facing the issue.

com.facebook.react.uimanager.IllegalViewOperationException: Trying to add unknown view tag -> the exception here seems to be caused by another reason, in my case I don't have an unknown view tag issue

I have searched a lot about StackOverflowException in react-native, but even in it's GitHub issues, there are zero results.

I've also checkedException in native call error. For example, in this link, E/unknown:React: Exception in native call, the issue is caused by bundling. However my case is not related to bundling. I can successfully run the app in the emulator and navigate among screens. The exception also occurs in release mode on real devices too.

I'm unable to find an answer including Exception in native call ,IllegalViewOperationException, and StackOverflowException keywords. The exception occurs on Android devices with only 4.x version. It does not occur on 5 and higher Android versions. I guess that it might be related to device's insufficient RAM, or the device might not handle too many renderings in consecutive page navigations. Any ideas on how I can prevent this exception?

TextInput is prompted for this error when it gets focus

[murtraja]

on react-native 57.5 and react-navigation 3.3.0, this (red screen IllegalViewOperation, Exception in Native call from JS) happens consistently when I do the following in Android (Samsung Galaxy Grand 2, Android 4.4.2)

1. create a screen with createMaterialTopTabNavigator ( I had 3 tabs, I individually loaded the tabs without TopTabNavigator, it doesn't throw error, this only happens when I use TopTabNavigator)
2. minimize it (press home button in Android)
3. resume the application

[gaoxiaosong1113]

Here, I use react-native-router-flux. When I open the page with input box, android will prompt this error, but ios does not

[kelset]

It seems to me that this issue is a collection of different edge case issues, a few related to libraries and some related to Android old OS versions.

That said, one thing that probably can solve these kind of issue may be upgrading to 0.59, in which we use a new version of the JSC - which is probably somewhat related to those native crashes.

If even after upgrading to RN 0.59 you still see these crashes, please open a dedicated issue to a particular crash caused by a specific reason (with a repro): with the generic descriptions provided above are not helpful for investigating it further.

[alexkuttig]

@gaoxiaosong1113 @murtraja did upgrading RN work for you or did you find any other solution? I'm seeing similar crashes in my bugsnag...

[murtraja]

@alexkuttig, unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any solution. I haven't upgraded to RN 0.59 either.

[alexkuttig]

@murtraja short update - Upgrading RN to 0.59.5 did not solve the problem

[IndianNative]

Have any one resolved this issue . I am getting this error in android 8.1 and above whenever I am switching tabs using navigation drawer and all the tabs are maps with different data

[quachsimon]

I am also running into this issue on

RN v0.59.9
Android 9.0 (API 28)

I am using react-navigation as part of my dependencies if that matters...

Are there any update to this and what we could do?

[hosseinsalemi]

any solution?

my problem solved with this:

cd android
gradlew clean
gradlew assembleDebug --stacktrace

i hope that works for you

[Strate]

Do someone resolve problem?

[alexkuttig]

@Strate it seems to be that there were two different problems, resulting in this screen.

The first one was, that if you have a very deep stack depth, it could result in that kind of error on older android versions. I managed to get it to work by taking some levels out of my navigation tree. Additionally you could try this one: https://github.com/react-navigation/react-navigation/issues/5843#issuecomment-515014403

The second one was a crash in the android jsc of react native. This was resolved and pushed to react-native 0.60 and 0.59.10.

Hope that helps :-)
