jpudysz/react-native-unistyles v3.5.0 on GitHub

What's Changed

A stability release: theme changes that didn't reach some components, memory leaks on reload and on web, reload crashes, and build fixes for older React Native versions and AGP 9.

🎨 Themes and styles

Fixed theme updates not applying to some dynamic styles after a re-render (#1267, closes #1192)
Unistyles commits no longer overwrite what React just rendered, which fixes updateTheme being lost when a theme is set on mount and inline props being dropped mid-transition (#1271)
Fixed stale colors on React Native Animated views when the style merges several unistyles (#1273)
Fixed animated variant colors staying stale after a theme change on a frozen screen (#1274)
Fixed TouchableHighlight reverting to the previous theme's style after a press (#1279)
ActivityIndicator style is now linked with its wrapping View (#1270)
useUnistyles, withUnistyles, Display and Hide react to orientation changes again, even when no stylesheet depends on them (#1265 by @christianjuth, closes #1254)
StyleSheet.absoluteFillObject stays a spreadable style object across React Native versions (#1237 by @dennytosp, closes #1200)

🧊 Frozen screens

Unfreezing a screen no longer blocks JS for seconds: suspended nodes are restored without one shadow tree commit per node (closes #1252)

🧠 Memory and reloads

Fixed a StyleSheet ↔ Unistyle reference cycle that leaked memory on every reload (#1280)
Runtime ownership now uses generation tracking, so a stale runtime can no longer wipe the state of the new one after an OTA or dev reload (#1278, closes #1215 and #1250)
uni__getStyles throws a JSError instead of crashing when it races registry teardown during reload (#1221 by @safaiyeh, closes #1220)
Web: Pressable and ScrollView are now released from the shadow registry, so CSS rules and detached DOM nodes stop accumulating (#1277, closes #1263)

🛠 Build and compatibility

Fixed the parseUnprocessedTransformOriginString build error on React Native < 0.85, with transformOrigin strings still processed on Android there (#1236 by @dennytosp, closes #1226)
Android: the explicit Kotlin plugin is skipped when AGP 9 registers the built-in kotlin extension (#1246 by @gabrieldonadel)
NativeText / NativeView host components are resolved without deep imports (#1272)

🧾 Types

Readonly arrays are accepted in nested style props such as boxShadow (#1238 by @dennytosp, closes #1214)
Readonly style arrays stay valid on the output side as well (#1276)

⚡ Performance

Faster lookup of unistyles on the link path, recovering the re-render cost added by the merged-style fix (#1275)

🧪 Internal

New e2e suite with C++ diagnostics for the example app (#1269), plus a docs refresh (#1268)
