Description

Description

When providing a property of outlineColor to <Svg/> with values like transparent or #FFFFFF30, this crashes on android with a message saying: "java.lang.Double cannot be cast to java.lang.integer"

While this is indeed unsupported (for <Svg/>), this crash only happens on Android but is acceptable for iOS and Web

Which one is to be followed?

Compare the handling of transparent and #FFFFFF30 outlineColor values on Android, iOS, and Web, then establish and verify the intended cross-platform behavior.
