We have a website that needs to be ported to mobile app. We have used react-native and the webkit view.
In the website, there is a play button that will open up a video. On Android, this works very well. However, it is not the same for iOS.
Please see error message
Error Loading Page
Domain: WebKitErrorDomain
Error Code: 204
Description: Plug-in handled load
Otherwise, the website looks good on iOS. On Android, the video opens and runs smoothly.
We have used this code in the app which is extremely simple.
<WebView
source={{uri: 'http://www.domain.abc'}}
bounces={false}
scrollEnable={false}
/>
Any idea on how to fix this issue?

Implementing video calls using react-native-jitsi-meet on iOS works perfectly fine but on android when loading the screen to start the meeting, it stays on the black screen. I am using react-native 0.69.2 and react-native-jitsi-meet 2.3.1.
I did all installation as described in the documentation and also tried to use jitsi-meet-sdk to customize native code but still, I could get the black screen on android.
I also tried to downgrade the react-native version but it couldn't help.
I was expecting to join the video call but rendering the JitsiMeetView with its full functionality like turning on a video call, muting audio, seeing participants, inviting and so many more features that jitsi-meet-sdk provides as I could see it on iOS.
I'm using this package react-native-store-review for requesting an in-app review. but neither any modal shows up nor I see an error when I call requestReview().
onPress={() => {
if (StoreReview.isAvailable) {
console.warn('available');
StoreReview.requestReview();
}
}}
text="Write your review"
/>
The app has been put in the google play internal test track
and my Gmail is added as a tester
and I've downloaded the app from google play
and I have not reviewed the app before
but nothing shows up when requestReview() and only the 'available' appears in the dev mood.
I also tried this package react-native-in-app-review but it makes the app crashes in android, so any other package suggestion or solution would be great too.
The solution is putting the app in the Internal test track.
I am using Expo to build an app that serves a website using react-native-webview. It's working in android, but however in iOS with custom originWhitelist, react-native-webview automatically opens custom scripts in Safari without any user interaction.
For example:
<WebView
source={{
uri: 'https://www.bbc.com',
}}
originWhitelist={['https://*bbc.com']}
/>
On load, the webview opens a link that doesn't fit the whitelist automatically. You can check the screen cap here: https://imgur.com/a/Tvbua2b. In addition to that, it also shows other urls that can't be opened (My guess is that because the app isn't on foreground). Here's one of the error messages from the console:
Environment:
OS: iOS
OS version: 13.5.
react-native version: React Native 0.62.2 for Expo SDK38.
react-native-webview version: ^9.4.0.
I have a React Native application and I use Expo. It's distributed to enterprise through a download link and not through the app store. The ipa works on iOS13 devices, and the download works for ios12 and below, but stopped working from ios13. If anyone encountered and knows why would be thankful.
We have found out that the reason the link is not causing the download is a JavaScript animation we had at the web page where people download the app from. This animation allowed downloading the app on iOS12 and below, on all browsers, and prevented downloading in iOS13 on all browsers.
Current behavior
I have a list a social networking app that has videos and images (under 10 Mb each).
There is a screen with the user's feed, organized in a FlatList, in which i am loading for now only (!) two videos and one image. The app shows black screen in the place of the Video component, only on Android. The black screen problem does not happen in iOS! (I presume because the way memory management and how scroll lists are done in iOS)
Reproduction steps
This is my code for Video:
<Video
source={{ uri: this.state.uri }}
ref={(ref) => {
this.player = ref
}}
paused={this.state.paused}
resizeMode={this.state.resizeMode}
onLoad={this.handleLoad}
onEnd={this.handleEnd.bind(this)}
style={[this.state.style, { backgroundColor: '#3d3d3d' }]}
/>
also, if I add in AndroidManifest:
The memory consumed by the app as seen in Android Studio is somewhere at 170Mb, and growing.
Expected behavior
I expected to show the video.

Which player are you experiencing the problem on:
I am using the Video tag from : import Video from 'react-native-video';

Questions
1) what is the solution to this?
2) Is this related to memory issues? When I load 10 more videos, the app crashes because of an error (as I see in Crashlytics) called 'Fatal Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError'.
Does the library react-native-video not load when there is high memory used?
3) does the FlatList on Android unload from memory the images/videos when I scroll them outside of view? Otherwise, If I go down with scrolling , do I continually add images / videos to the app memory and it will eventually crash?
4) Is another solution for performance for video? I am thinking react-native-thumbnail to show initially the thumbnail to not download the whole video. I am having trouble installing the library (issue #35 on https://github.com/phuochau/react-native-thumbnail/issues/35 ) , do you know of a better way to get the video thumbnail? (so that instead of showing videos in feed, i show them on thumbnail touch in a different screen).
5) does the Exoplayer eliminate this problem?
This is I believe the greatest challenge with this app so far. Please contribute what solutions you have found to apps with feeds with videos.
(I have posted the question on Github here, but sometimes I only get responses on SO: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/1318 )
Thank you!
