Description

Which OS ?

iOS 11.3

Version

Which versions are you using:

  • react-native-swiper v1.5.13
  • react-native v0.55.3
Expected behaviour

Swiper should appear and not cause the app to crash.

Actual behaviour

Swiper does not appear and causes the app to crash randomly.

How to reproduce it>

To help us, please fork this component, modify one example in examples folder to reproduce your issue and include link here.

The swiper component runs normally in the simulator and on device when running from xcode, but when I build the app and distribute through iTunes connect, the swiper images flicker or do not appear at all, and the presence of the swiper causes the app to crash randomly.

This is new to RN 0.55.x. This bug did not appear in RN < 0.54.x

Steps to reproduce
  1. Archive app
  2. Distribute through testflight
  3. Open app and look at page with react-native-swiper

Research direction

Start with the swiper component and the examples folder, then reproduce the issue by archiving the app and distributing it through TestFlight on iOS 11.3 with React Native 0.55.3. Compare the archived device behavior with the simulator and an Xcode run. Done means the swiper appears reliably without flickering or causing random crashes in the distributed app.
