When a property moves between the C++ loop and the platform path, two things went stale.

The updates registry kept the property's last settled value after it moved to the platform, so the commit hook re-injected it over the committed style and the view snapped back. Retention now covers loop-routed properties only, and runs on every transition run so a promotion evicts what it leaves behind.

A mid-flight demotion restarted the loop from the old committed value, flashing before gliding to the new one. The backend now reports the value its animation currently shows, and the demoted transition resumes from there.

Both were reproduced on a physical device and re-verified after the fix. Behavior with ANDROID_CSS_PLATFORM_TRANSITIONS off is unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved CSS transition handoffs so animations continue smoothly from their current on-screen values.
    • Preserved in-progress property values when switching between platform-driven and loop-driven animations.
    • Improved handling of scalar and multi-value properties during animation transitions.
    • Improved transition tracking when properties are added, updated, or removed, including empty updates.
    • Added safer fallback behavior when a current value cannot be determined.
    • Improved opacity updates for React Native view groups.

Walkthrough

The change adds current platform-value retrieval for active CSS transitions. Platform-to-loop migration uses a live scalar value when available. Transition property filtering and registry reconciliation now use loop-routed properties. Android alpha writes preserve React Native opacity handling for React view groups.

Changes

Platform transition migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Loop property routing and registry reconciliation
packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/CSS/core/transition/CSSTransition.*, packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/CSS/registries/CSSTransitionsRegistry.cpp
getLoopProperties() returns only loop-routed properties. Registry reconciliation filters and removes entries according to those properties.
Current platform value reconstruction
packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/CSS/utils/platform.*, packages/react-native-reanimated/android/src/main/cpp/reanimated/android/CSS/CSSPlatformTransitions.*, packages/react-native-reanimated/apple/reanimated/apple/CSS/REACSSPlatformTransitions.*
Platform backends reconstruct active transition values with clamped progress and easing. lerpPlatformValues interpolates compatible scalar and fixed-size array values.
Platform-to-loop migration wiring
packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/CSS/core/transition/CSSPlatformTransitionProxy.*, packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/NativeModules/ReanimatedModuleProxy.cpp, packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/Tools/PlatformDepMethodsHolder.h, packages/react-native-reanimated/android/src/main/cpp/reanimated/android/NativeProxy.cpp, packages/react-native-reanimated/apple/reanimated/apple/native/PlatformDepMethodsHolderImpl.mm
The proxy receives the current-value callback and uses a live scalar value as the loop animation start value when available. Android and Apple wiring expose the callback.
Android opacity handling
packages/react-native-reanimated/android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/reanimated/css/CSSPropertyWriter.kt
AlphaProperty uses setOpacityIfPossible for ReactViewGroup instances and direct alpha assignment for other views.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a2ad3

The PR fixes stale CSS transition routing and mid-flight demotion behavior, but an unresolved color edge case can still cause an unintended transparent-to-opaque transition for affected styles. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on that bounded visual-correctness risk.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Verify all constructor and holder initialization sites.

CSSPlatformTransitionProxy now requires currentPlatformValue. Check every CSSPlatformTransitionProxy construction and every PlatformDepMethodsHolder aggregate initializer. A missed construction fails at compile time. If a feature-disabled path leaves the callback empty, resumeValue must check it before invocation because an empty std::function throws.
