Skia not working / not rendering - version issues?

[carllang]

Hi

I'm unable to render any Skia elements in my react native example app.

Trying to render a simple rectanlge but nothing is displayed. I am able to render normal react native stuff like <Text>Test</Text> etc.

      <Canvas>
        <Rect x={0} y={0} width={256} height={256} color="lightblue" />
      </Canvas>

I'm using the following versions

 "dependencies": {
    "@shopify/react-native-skia": "^0.1.155",
    "react": "18.1.0",
    "react-native": "0.70.3"
  },

in android/app/build.gradle using
ndkVersion '23.1.7779620'

in android/build.gradle

 buildToolsVersion = "31.0.0"
 minSdkVersion = 21
 compileSdkVersion = 31
 targetSdkVersion = 31

I also don't see any errors when building / running on emulator.
So I think it has to do with the versions i'm using.

Thanks.

The issue here seems to be that the canvas has no size, so you don't see it. Maybe we could throw a warning or have a default canvas size like on the web.

it was the canvas height. Can see it now thanks 😆 still learning...
