react-native: Release build crashes on iOS and Android. Fatal Exeption.

This is clearly showing that some package is still using View.propTypes. I was running into this too until I did find the offending packages. Please do the following:

1. find node_modules -name “*.map” | xargs -n 1 rm -f
2. grep -R “View.propTypes” node_modules

The first step removes all the map files so that your grep output is not flooded. You will need to reinstall node_modules later so that you get them back.

Please check thoroughly the output of the second. You can either post output here or send them to me privately. I just went through the pain myself and would like to help you.

No worries. You have to check the entire dependency tree for

1. React.PropTypes
2. PropTypes being imported from react
3. Usage of View.propTypes

All three are illegal in React 16. The fixes for those are respectively:

1. React.PropTypes -> PropTypes (import PropTypes from ‘prop-types’)
2. Import PropTypes from prop-types instead of react
3. View.propTypes -> ViewPropTypes (import ViewPropTypes from ‘react-native’)

My approach was this. Check each of those projects on GitHub and see:

1. Has it been fixed in git already? Is there a new version available? If not, use the code from the github repo in your package.json
2. Has someone issued a pull request for this? If so, use that branch.
3. Fork the GitHub repo and fix it yourself

I had to do all three 😃. The tricky part was when the direct dependency was clean, but a sub-dependency was not. I then had to fork both the direct dependency and its sub-dependency, fix the issue in the sub-dependency fork, change the my fork of the main dependency to use my fork of the sub-dependency.

As you can see, a bloody pain in the proverbial backside! But once I figured out the problem, it took me just a few hours to hit them all.

Good luck!

@ujwal-setlur I checked my own code and there’s no instances of View.propTypes.

Custom tab bars must consume a style prop on their outer element to support this feature: style={this.props.style}.\n- onChangeTab (Function) - function to call when tab changes, should accept 1 argument which is an Object containing two keys: i: the index of the tab that is selected, ref: the ref of the tab that is selected\n- onScroll (Function) - function to call when the pages are sliding, should accept 1 argument which is an Float number representing the page position in the slide frame.\n- locked (Bool) - disables horizontal dragging to scroll between tabs, default is false.\n- initialPage (Integer) - the index of the initially selected tab, defaults to 0 === first tab.\n- page (Integer) - set selected tab(can be buggy see #126\n- children (ReactComponents) - each top-level child component should have a tabLabel prop that can be used by the tab bar component to render out the labels. The default tab bar expects it to be a string, but you can use anything you want if you make a custom tab bar.\n- tabBarUnderlineStyle (View.propTypes.style) - style of the default tab bar’s underline.\n- tabBarBackgroundColor (String) - color of the default tab bar’s background, defaults to white\n- tabBarActiveTextColor (String) - color of the default tab bar’s text when active, defaults to navy\n- tabBarInactiveTextColor (String) - color of the default tab bar’s text when inactive, defaults to black\n- tabBarTextStyle (Object) - Additional styles to the tab bar’s text. Example: {fontFamily: 'Roboto', fontSize: 15}\n- style (View.propTypes.style)\n- contentProps (Object) - props that are applied to root ScrollView/ViewPagerAndroid. Note that overriding defaults set by the library may break functionality; see the source for details.\n- scrollWithoutAnimation (Bool) - on tab press change tab without animation.\n- prerenderingSiblingsNumber (Integer) - pre-render nearby # sibling, Infinity === render all the siblings, default to 0 === render current page.\n\n## Contribution\nIssues are welcome.

I had to update my dependencies to utilize the new ViewPropTypes convention. Curious though why does this break in release builds and not in dev builds? Would love a deeper understanding of why i only caught this when testing on our staging environments.

Still facing this issue in V. 0.53.3.

I think I don’t have any dependencies using View.PropTypes but still release variant crashes. Using RN 0.51.0

Here is my output of the grep.

node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Lists/ListView/ListView.js: …ScrollView.propTypes, node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Components/WebView/WebView.ios.js: decelerationRate: ScrollView.propTypes.decelerationRate, node_modules/react-native/Libraries/ReactNative/verifyPropTypes.js: // ReactNative View.propTypes have been deprecated in favor of node_modules/react-native/Libraries/ReactNative/requireNativeComponent.js: // ReactNative View.propTypes have been deprecated in favor of node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Animated/src/createAnimatedComponent.js: // ReactNative View.propTypes have been deprecated in favor of

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Update: Jan 8 2017. Downgrading to RN 0.45.1 and React 16.0.0-alpha.8 solved the issue for me.

@ujwal-setlur you are right .I have solued it. I spent too much time for this problem due to another no updated module, it’s too painful , thanks so much

modify react/index.js

'use strict';

import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

let React;
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  React = require('./cjs/react.production.min.js');
} else {
  React = require('./cjs/react.development.js');
}

React.PropTypes = PropTypes;

module.exports = React;

For anyone using code-push and running into app crashes on launch, see this:

https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push/issues/1064

react-native-multi-slider was the cause for me with react-native@0.53.3

How I solved this:

1. grep -R “View.propTypes” node_modules above command fetches me list of all packages to update in my case ex. rn-viewpager,react-native-material-ui etc.

2. Installed and cloned these scripts. https://github.com/reactjs/react-codemod#reactnative-view-proptypes

3. ran command for each module found in step 1 https://github.com/reactjs/react-codemod#reactnative-view-proptypes

No those are fine. Those are packages that are trying to be backwards compatible. They first check for ViewPropStyles and then for View.propStyles if ViewPropStyles is essentially null or undefined

In my case, upgrading react-native-admob 1.3.2 to 2.0.0-beta.2 solved situation.

I’m downgrade to RN 0.45.1 to solve this.

hahaha… I can only imagine what you went through. Thanks a lot again for saving so many hours mine 😄
