WalkthroughThis change adds feature-flagged final-state-first native layout-animation delivery on iOS. It introduces post-mount state validation, cancellation and surface lifecycle handling, an example benchmark screen, trace events, and native test coverage. ChangesFinal-state-first layout animations
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR changes native layout-mount timing so animations start after final state is mounted. Merge readiness is currently moderate because pending starts may still run after cancellation, and the added native tests may report success without executing assertions in release configurations; these issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

- Around line 1296-1301: Serialize all accesses to frameDrivenGeneration_ across
pullTransaction and claimFrameDrivenLayoutAnimation(), using the existing shared
mutex or an atomic counter so concurrent increments cannot produce duplicate
generations. Preserve the generation value used when constructing the
native_animation::AnimationHandle.

- Around line 168-175: Update RNReanimated.podspec to define
IS_REANIMATED_EXAMPLE_APP for Apple C++ compilation via OTHER_CPLUSPLUSFLAGS or
GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS, not only OTHER_CFLAGS. Ensure the example-only
methods in LayoutAnimationsProxy_Legacy.cpp and their related C++ consumers are
consistently included when building the example app.
In

- Around line 69-90: Keep records removed by the drain/submission flow
cancellable until native animation submission completes: update the
draining-record tracking around the drain and submission logic to retain a
surface epoch or cancellation token, invalidate it in both cancel and
cancelSurface, and order submission with the native animation service so
cancelled teardown requests cannot be admitted on a reused surface. Anchor the
changes to PendingNativeLayoutStarts::cancel, the drain/submission path, and the
surface-cancellation method.
In
`@packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/NativeAnimations/tests/PendingNativeLayoutStartsTest.cc`:
- Around line 456-470: Add a compile-time guard in
runPendingNativeLayoutStartsTests or the test translation unit that fails
compilation when NDEBUG is defined, ensuring assert-based checks cannot be
compiled out in Release configurations.

React Native Fabric MountingOverrideDelegate pullTransaction thread mounting coordinator UI thread
💡 Result:
In React Native Fabric, the MountingOverrideDelegate is an interface that allows third-party libraries (such as Reanimated for layout animations or View Transition modules) to intercept and modify mounting transactions before they are applied to the platform [1][2][3]. The MountingCoordinator manages these transactions. When pullTransaction is called, the MountingCoordinator iterates through its registered mountingOverrideDelegates [4][5]. If a delegate indicates it wants to override the transaction via shouldOverridePullTransaction, its pullTransaction method is invoked [4][2]. This method receives the existing transaction data—including shadow view mutations and telemetry—and allows the delegate to return a modified MountingTransaction [2]. Regarding threads and coordination: 1. Thread Safety: The MountingCoordinator::pullTransaction method is designed to be thread-safe and can be invoked from various threads [6]. 2. Execution Context: While it is thread-safe, it is intended to be called consistently on a specific thread (often the UI thread or the thread responsible for rendering) to ensure the sequential application of mount transactions [6]. 3. Platform Differences: The application of these transactions is platform-specific. On Android, for example, the Fabric architecture has historically followed a model where transactions might be pulled from the JS thread but scheduled/applied asynchronously on the UI thread [6]. Modern changes, such as the implementation of a new Runtime Scheduler, aim to batch these notifications and apply them at specific, well-defined points in the event loop to ensure more atomic UI updates [7]. Multiple delegates can now be registered to a single MountingCoordinator (via a vector of weak pointers), allowing multiple systems (e.g., core React Native layout animations and external animation libraries) to operate on the same transaction simultaneously [5][1]. This mechanism effectively serves as a hook that enables intercepting and altering the mutation list that will ultimately dictate changes in the native view hierarchy [1][8].

Serialize frameDrivenGeneration_ increments. pullTransaction holds mutex, but claimFrameDrivenLayoutAnimation() increments the same plain uint64_t without that lock. Concurrent execution can create duplicate generations and cause PendingNativeLayoutStarts to reject one request as stale. Use one shared lock or an atomic counter.

CocoaPods podspec xcconfig OTHER_CFLAGS applied to C++ source OTHER_CPLUSPLUSFLAGS compiler settings
💡 Result:
In CocoaPods podspec files, OTHER_CFLAGS and OTHER_CPLUSPLUSFLAGS serve distinct purposes based on the compiler settings they influence [1]. OTHER_CFLAGS is used to pass additional flags to the compiler when it is processing C and Objective-C source files [1]. OTHER_CPLUSPLUSFLAGS is used to pass additional flags to the compiler when it is processing C++ and Objective-C++ source files [1]. Because these settings target different types of files, flags defined in OTHER_CFLAGS are generally not applied to C++ source files [1]. If you need specific compiler flags to apply to your C++ code, you must place those flags in OTHER_CPLUSPLUSFLAGS within your pod_target_xcconfig [2][3]. When defining these in a podspec, you can set them using the pod_target_xcconfig attribute [2]: spec.pod_target_xcconfig = { 'OTHER_CFLAGS' => '-DEXAMPLE_C_FLAG=1', 'OTHER_CPLUSPLUSFLAGS' => '-DEXAMPLE_CPP_FLAG=1' } If you are concerned about overriding existing settings, it is best practice to include $(inherited) in your values so that existing project or target configurations are preserved [4][5]: spec.pod_target_xcconfig = { 'OTHER_CFLAGS' => '$(inherited) -DEXAMPLE_C_FLAG=1', 'OTHER_CPLUSPLUSFLAGS' => '$(inherited) -DEXAMPLE_CPP_FLAG=1' } CocoaPods explicitly recognizes both OTHER_CFLAGS and OTHER_CPLUSPLUSFLAGS as build settings that it manages [3][6][7], so you can safely use them in your podspec to control compilation behavior for your target [2].

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Keep drained records cancellable until submission completes.
Line 102 removes records from the only cancellation index before mount validation. If cancel or cancelSurface runs after that point, it cannot find the record and returns without affecting it. The drain can then schedule the request at Line 129 after its handle or surface was cancelled.
Track draining records with a surface epoch or cancellation token. Invalidate that state in both cancellation paths. Make submission and surface cancellation ordered with the native animation service so a teardown cannot admit an old request on a reused surface.

Add a compile-time guard for NDEBUG.
The target does not define NDEBUG directly, but a Release configuration can supply it through CMake's compiler flags. Then assert checks are removed and the test can report a false pass.

Layout code stores an already prepared, owned AnimationRequest while it intercepts a mounting transaction. A layout-owned pending-start store (PendingNativeLayoutStarts) submits it to the shared service only after the platform mount boundary reports the intended Fabric mount. The Apple boundary uses the synchronous RCTSurfacePresenterObserver signal, which fires after the mount instructions and before paint (D018). Before submission the store validates that the surface still runs, the handle is not cancelled or duplicated, and the mounted view still shows the expected final layout and final props. Surface teardown rejects queued records once and blocks later work until a new surface instance starts. Objective 07 will call the same enqueueNativeLayoutStart entry from production interception; a dev-only bench screen and common tests pass controlled prepared requests through it today.

The iOS clang-tidy job rejects do-while loops (cppcoreguidelines-avoid-do-while); a while loop is equivalent here and also handles a nil view gracefully. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
This PR adds final-state-first mounting to the native layout animations implementation, a prerequisite for adding the actual native layout animations.
Problem. A native layout animation must start only after Fabric mounts the final props and layout metrics. If it starts earlier, the animation runs against stale host state. If it starts later, the final state paints for one frame first. The old PoC avoided this order problem in two bad ways: it wrote final values straight into the root
CALayerfor layout updates, and it used onedispatch_async(main)turn for entering. Both left the host tree wrong or raced the mount.Solution. Layout code now stores an already prepared, fully owned
AnimationRequestwhile it intercepts a mounting transaction. A layout-owned pending-start store submits the request to the shared service only after the platform reports the intended mount:The mount signal comes from
RCTSurfacePresenterObserver. React Native calls it on the main queue, per surface, per transaction, directly after it applies the mutations and before the frame paints. The drain therefore runs in the same call stack as the mount. It does not depend on queue order. This choice is recorded as decision D018 in the internal roadmap docs.New parts.
LayoutMountBoundary(common): the platform mount contract — a post-mount observer and a mounted-state probe (frame without animation transform, plus a props identity token). Android can implement the same contract later.PendingNativeLayoutStarts(common): the layout-owned store. It keeps the handle, transaction number, animation type, expected final layout and props token, the old and final view snapshot, and the opaque request. It rejects with one typed result when the view is missing, the mounted state is stale, the handle repeats, layout cancels the record, or the surface stops.AppleLayoutMountBoundary(iOS): observes the surface presenter and reads mounted geometry from layer position and bounds, so an in-flight transform cannot distort validation.enqueueNativeLayoutStarton the layout proxy: the entry point that the next PRs will call from production interception.[LA] Final-state-first bench) that sends controlled prepared requests through the same path in example-app builds.Scope. This PR does not parse Layout Animations builders, does not build production tracks, and does not route any production animation to the native path. The next PRs will owns that work. Everything sits behind the static
IOS_LAYOUT_ANIMATIONS_CORE_ANIMATIONflag; the flag-off build compiles the new path out and behaves as before.Test plan
Common tests (12 new cases: owned request lifetime, mount ordering with trace proof, missing view, stale layout, stale props, cancelled record, duplicate handle, stale and disjoint generations, back-to-back commits, surface isolation, teardown and surface reuse):
cd packages/react-native-reanimated yarn test:native-animationsiOS Simulator (FabricExample, flag on — the committed default):
cd apps/fabric-example/ios && bundle exec pod install, then build and run with Metro.Flag-off comparison: set
IOS_LAYOUT_ANIMATIONS_CORE_ANIMATIONtofalseinapps/fabric-example/package.json,pod install, rebuild. The bench views jump with no animation; every existing layout animation behaves exactly as before. Restore the flag totrueafterwards.Also run: repository jest suite (all pass),
yarn lint:apple, clang-format checks. iOS clang-tidy needs the CI compile database and runs there.Changelog
