Thanks for reporting, @tiago138. Do you know of any other device models that have this issue besides the LG Q7+?

One of my customers reported the same problem when I upgraded to the Rive renderer.

The phone used is a Samsung Galaxy S23, I reached out to them to get the OS version, I will update it here if they answer.

(rive animations are supposed to be displayed in the carousel too)

When testing the app I notice the problem and never put it in production, so I don´t know of any other devices where it may be happening, because this was the only one where I tested it and had the problem.

Do you have this device? can you test my repo?

[HayesGordon]

A rendering fix has landed and will be out in the next Rive Android release, and then we can update Rive React Native.

It has not been confirmed whether it resolves both of these issues, but it solves a rendering glitch similar to the above.

Thanks for the update @HayesGordon 🙏

@HayesGordon is that supposed to be in rive-android 10.2.1?

I just tested it on https://lambdatest.com Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus with Android 15 emulator and it doesn't render at all for me.

Here is the repo you can reproduce with: https://github.com/benawad/android-rive-render-bug

Gotten users complaining about it not rendering on the following device models:

SM-S721B
SM-S926B
SM-A566B
SM-S721U
SM-S721U1
SM-S921B
SM-S721W
octopus ("IOS")

This is what it should look like when working correctly:

@HayesGordon is it possible to publish a new release and bump the android SDK so everyone can test if this fixes the issue by any chance?

[benawad]

@christophemenager if you want to test the Android SDK right now, you can stick this in your package.json:

"rive-react-native": "https://github.com/benawad/rive-react-native"

@christophemenager long time no see 👋
were you able to confirm this fork and new rive-android runtime version fixed the glitch issue on specific android devices?
