Each easing is defined once under an integer id and properties are routed by id as well, so starting a transition passes only scalars across JNI. Previously every start re-crossed the boundary with the property name string and the easing curve points.

React can overwrite an animated value only on frames where a mount ran, so
a UIManagerListener records mounts and the repair returns immediately on
every other frame instead of walking all running transitions.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added reusable easing configurations for Android CSS transitions.
    • Improved platform-backed transitions for supported properties.
    • Added support for registering and removing easing definitions.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved reliability when transitions start, change, replace, or are removed.
    • Unsupported properties and easing configurations are handled safely.
    • Improved cleanup when transitions or easing configurations are replaced or reset.

Walkthrough

Android CSS transitions now use numeric property and easing IDs across C++ and Kotlin. Native code interns easing definitions and tracks references. Java registers easing interpolators and resolves property writers by ID.

Changes

CSS transition ID routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native transition contracts and interning
packages/react-native-reanimated/android/src/main/cpp/reanimated/android/CSS/CSSPlatformTransitions.*, packages/react-native-reanimated/android/src/main/cpp/reanimated/android/CSS/CSSPlatformEasings.*
Native callbacks use numeric property and easing IDs. Opacity maps to property ID 0. Easing definitions use value-based interning, reference tracking, and cleanup during transition replacement or removal.
JNI API bridge
packages/react-native-reanimated/android/src/main/cpp/reanimated/android/NativeProxy.*, packages/react-native-reanimated/android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/reanimated/NativeProxy.kt
The bridge registers and removes easing definitions. It forwards numeric IDs for animation and removal.
Java transition resolution
packages/react-native-reanimated/android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/reanimated/css/CSSPlatformTransitionsManager.kt, packages/react-native-reanimated/android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/reanimated/android/css/CSSPropertyWriter.kt
The manager stores interpolators by easing ID, uses property IDs in transition keys, rejects unknown easing IDs, and resolves property ID 0 to AlphaProperty.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7e369

The change routes transition properties and easings by integer IDs, but the current lifecycle still permits IDs to be reused after all active easings are released even though the bridge contract requires uniqueness. That can cause stale references to resolve to the wrong easing, so the issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

- Around line 73-80: Prevent duplicate free-list entries in easingIdFor and
retainEasing: when a zero-reference cached easing ID is reused, remove its
existing entry from freeEasingIds_ (or otherwise track queued IDs) before
reactivating it, and ensure later releaseEasing calls cannot append the same ID
more than once. Preserve existing slot reuse behavior while preventing unbounded
free-list growth.

93-97: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not reset easing IDs.

CSSPlatformTransitions.h states that easing IDs are never reused and that easingIdFor keeps counting up. Resetting nextEasingId_ to 0 allows a later easing to reuse an old cross-layer ID. Queued or delayed Java/UI work can then resolve the ID to the wrong easing.

Keep nextEasingId_ monotonic.

Proposed fix
-  if (internedEasings_.empty()) {
-    // Nothing holds an id, so counting from zero again keeps them inside the range the
-    // platform side can look up without boxing.
-    nextEasingId_ = 0;
-  }
