The engine emits an animation cancel as the view tears down, but the batch carrying it is dispatched once the view is already gone, so unregistering the subscriber at unmount dropped it and the callback never fired.

Unmounting now retires the subscriber: it is unsubscribed straight away and kept aside, and the next batch is delivered to both the subscribed and the retired sets before the retired ones are let go. Unsubscribing eagerly rather than queueing the removal is what lets a frozen view that mounts again on the same manager stay subscribed by simply registering itself.

This matches the web, where removing an element with a running animation fires animationcancel.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved CSS animation callback handling during component cleanup and remounting.
    • Pending animation cancellation events are now delivered reliably before callbacks are fully retired.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented duplicate callback delivery when callbacks are registered again.
    • Ensured retired callbacks stop receiving future event batches without affecting other callbacks.
    • Preserved event delivery for other callbacks sharing the same view.
    • Ensured callbacks are delivered at most once per event batch.

Walkthrough

CSS animation callbacks now support deferred subscriber retirement. Cleanup retires managers without losing the current event batch. Registry tests cover delivery, later removal, and re-registration.

Changes

CSS callback retirement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Callback manager behavior
packages/react-native-reanimated/src/css/native/managers/CSSCallbacksManager.ts
Adds callback tracking, event masks, registry registration, retirement, and supported animation event dispatch.
Deferred registry retirement
packages/react-native-reanimated/src/css/native/events/CSSCallbacksRegistry.ts, packages/react-native-reanimated/src/css/native/events/__tests__/CSSCallbacksRegistry.test.ts
Retired subscribers receive the current dispatch batch, stop receiving later batches, and can be registered again.
Manager unmount lifecycle
packages/react-native-reanimated/src/css/native/managers/CSSManager.ts, packages/react-native-reanimated/src/css/native/managers/__tests__/CSSManager.test.ts
Unmount cleanup retires the callback manager, and pending animationCancel events remain deliverable.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 5beff

The unmount delivery change may deliver one animation event twice when a subscriber re-registers during dispatch. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for this bounded callback-correctness risk.

Makes `onAnimationStart`, `onAnimationEnd`, `onAnimationIteration` and
`onAnimationCancel` fire on iOS and Android. They already work on web,
and the shared types promised them everywhere, but native dropped them.

Callbacks are passed inside `style`, alongside the other CSS config
props. Only the subscription mask crosses the JSI boundary, never the
user function, and it is pushed to C++ only when the set of present
callbacks changes.

A cancel emitted while the view is unmounting is still dropped here;
#10255 delivers it.
The engine emits an animation cancel as the view tears down, but the batch
carrying it is dispatched once the view is already gone, so unregistering at
unmount dropped it. Keep the subscriber registered and queue it for removal
after the next batch instead.
Queueing the removal instead of unregistering eagerly meant a frozen view that
mounted again on the same manager was dropped by the queue on the next batch,
and its callbacks went silent. Retire unsubscribes right away and the batch
reads both sets, so registering again is enough to stay subscribed.
Follows the sentinel removal in the base branch.

Registering again now cancels a pending retirement, so a remounted view is
only ever in one of the two sets. The batch no longer has to union them to
avoid delivering an event twice.
Trailing underscores are an outlier in this package, and the batch helper did
not say what it delivers or to whom. The two tag maps are also filled the same
way, so that goes through one function.

Adds a screen under CSS > Animations > Miscellaneous that attaches all
four animation callbacks and logs each event with its `elapsedTime`, so
the timings can be checked against the spec.

Covers the cases that are easy to get wrong: a finite animation with a
delay, an infinite one that never ends, and interrupting one mid-flight.
The unmount button stays silent until #10255 lands, which is what makes
that cancel reach the callback.

Stacked on #10071.
A callback in the batch can register a retiring view, which puts it in the
subscribed set while the retirement snapshot still holds it, and it heard the
event twice.
The field and retire docs both explained why an unmounting view keeps
receiving.
Notifying the subscribed and the retiring separately meant passing the first
into the second so nobody heard the event twice. One set dedupes itself.
The batch helper and its callers had drifted into listeners, and the two
collection helpers now read as what they do to a subscriber. The two-set model
is stated once on the class instead of across three comments.
