OOB assets not working for URL-loaded riv animations

[tslater]

Description

If your *.riv file is a bundled assets, oob assets are currently working via the referencedAssets prop. They silently fail if *.riv file is sourced using a remote url.

Provide a Repro

You just need to use ANY *.riv file with a referenced asset, but make sure to not reference a bundled *.riv file, load it over https.

Source .riv/.rev file

You can use the referenced .rev file that was used in the original PR for OOB assets.

Expected behavior

We expect fonts, images, and sounds to load.

Additional context

@HayesGordon said that this would require a change to the iOS runtime, which has delayed a fix.
@lancesnider confirmed it would be good to create a separate ticket to track the issue, so here it is!

@john-sportshub made the original discovery of the issue. (@john-sportshub let me know if you've found any workaraounds!).

@lancesnider @HayesGordon
Actually, I can't get OOB assets to work on react native no matter what I do, URL, linked, etc. for the assets or the rive animation.

@HayesGordon @lancesnider can you confirm if they're working or not? If not, I'll change the issue to just be that they're not working at all.

Here's my attempt to re-create the reference example, with a bundled rive asset. Trying bundled oob assets and URLS but nothing is working (testing on iOS initially):

Out of band assets are working our sample app, can you confirm that's working?

But I just made a fix to support out-of-band assets for network .riv files.

[HayesGordon]

Should be fixed in 9.3.3

[tslater]

@HayesGordon We've tried both 9.3.3 and 9.3.4 but none of our animations show up (testing on iOS). No crashes or errors, just completely invisible if they're there at all. Are you getting other reports on this? If not, I'll try and make sure I have a minimal reproducible example and test it.

[HayesGordon]

Only when using out-of-band assets? Or in general? Which version of React Native are you on?

[tslater]

We're on react-native 0.76.9. Is happening to all our rive animations, most of which do not have any oob assets.

[tslater]

@HayesGordon I think I'll go ahead and create a new issue for this. Have you gotten any other bug reports? A bit surprised if not. It's not showing anything.

[tslater]

@HayesGordon Just giving you an update. We finally got time to upgrade again and test this. It was an issue on our end. The fix changed some behaviors that broke our wrapper around Rive that we use to better match RN workflows around asset management. So we're finally using OOB assets in production. Thanks for your hard work!

[HayesGordon]

That's awesome, thanks @tslater for verifying
