[iOS] Paywall video flickers / alternates with underlying screen when using Adapty dynamic paywall #288
Description
Description
Description
I'm seeing a flickering issue with a paywall that contains a video background/media.
Instead of the paywall staying stable, the screen rapidly alternates between:
- the Adapty paywall with the video
- the underlying app screen (in my case, the Settings screen)
This creates a visible flicker and makes the paywall look unstable.
I attached a screen recording that demonstrates the problem.
Expected behavior
The paywall should remain fully visible and the video should play smoothly without showing the underlying screen.
Actual behavior
The paywall/video flickers and intermittently reveals the previous screen underneath.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the screen from which the Adapty paywall is presented
- Present the Adapty paywall that contains video media
- Observe that the paywall flickers and briefly shows the previous screen underneath
Frequency
Reproducible every time / very often
Platform
- iOS: [e.g. 17.5 / 18.0]
- Device: [e.g. iPhone 15 Pro / simulator?]
- React Native version: [fill in]
react-native-adaptyversion: [fill in]- Expo or bare RN: [fill in]
- New Architecture enabled: [yes/no]
- Video added through Adapty paywall builder: [yes/no]
Notes
- The issue appears specifically when the paywall includes video media.
- From the screen recording, the paywall seems to repeatedly lose/redraw visibility, exposing the underlying screen.
