Thanks for posting this! It looks like you may not be using the latest version of React Native, v0.53.0, released on January 2018. Can you make sure this issue can still be reproduced in the latest version?

I am going to close this, but please feel free to open a new issue if you are able to confirm that this is still a problem in v0.53.0 or newer.

How to ContributeWhat to Expect from Maintainers

@cosmith my finding were that the error happened when trying to store large json data to AsyncStorage on iOS. My example was a json string 52000000 characters long.

I ended up getting around this issue by using realm as a storage engine for redux-persist, and also by splitting the reducer for that data into 16 separate reducers that are combined by a selector so I can easily use the data.

I put the details in this answer in stack overflow - https://stackoverflow.com/a/48582319/3672622

+1 seeing the same behavior

@cosmith If you don’t mind me asking, how did you achieve this? I’m serialising a 9MB object structure to JSON and writing it to disk with rn-fetch-blob, but it seems to crash quite often.

This issue was introduced for us when upgrading from BatchedBridge to CxxBridge (react native’s C++ bridge), which was made the default in react-native v0.45.0. We see thousands of crashes a day for about 6-7% of our users.

I was able to replicate the crash by sending a large string (~100,000,000 characters long) to a custom NativeModule function that does nothing. The CxxBridge just isn’t able to handle passing a string that large from JS to Native. It could be memory related, but doesn’t happen when using BatchedBridge instead of CxxBridge.

This definitely isn’t limited to AsyncStorage, and could happen with any package or code that sends a large string across the bridge. If you’re using redux-persist, persisting less data or blacklisting large reducers would fix the issue for now. Ideally the bridge would be able to handle larger strings…

@pjktk2 when I managed to replicate the crash (more by chance than anything) it was only happening when storing a large json string, and was happening consistently with that json (at least on my phone)

I’ve not looked at memory availability, but will check our error reporting for any clues there.

Sounds like you are well ahead of me in terms to tracking this bug down, so I will be interested to hear your findings!

@princenaman perhaps there is somewhere else in your code that’s transferring a large bit of data across the JavaScript bridge? That’s where I guess the crash is happening.

Or perhaps some other package you are using that’s using AsyncStorage behind the scenes?

Did any of ya’ll come up with a workaround for this? We’re seeing this error log pretty consistently in production, and users confirm it results in a crash, but we’re not able to recreate it on our own.
