Issue with pushViewController inside native UIViewControllers

[mohsinulhaq]

I have RNScreen native stack setup with a real native screen mounted from Swift. When I try to call navigationController.pushViewController with animated: true to navigate to another controller, I get the following exception:

(lldb) po navigationController?.pushViewController(FriendsViewController(), animated: true)

error: Execution was interrupted, reason: internal ObjC exception

stackAnimation being a RNScreen construct. With animation: false all works fine. But I would like the stack animation to work even from outside React Native. How can I achieve that now?

I think you have to resolve the internals by yourself unfortunately. The stackAnimation is not needed for tab navigator for sure, so you probably use this prop somewhere in your code, where it is not meant to be used. I cannot say much more. The stackAnimation resolves to different native transition styles (see: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-screens/blob/master/ios/RNSScreen.m#L133).

@WoLewicki
I did debug the cause of this since posting this discussion. I am definitely not using the prop stackAnimation myself.
The error occurs at this line.
And it's happening because the View I'm trying to push is not a RNScreenView instance but a simple UIView instance, which doesn't contain the stackAnimation property. Hence resulting in the above error.

Ok, nice that you managed to do it!

@WoLewicki yes, I did manage till here. Just that now I'm having issues with consolidating UIViewControlller with RNSScreen and UINavigationController with RNSStack.
