Does the library React-native-ranimated-2 require allowed newArchEnabled flag

[YOEL311]

I use react-native-reanimated-2

I understand that this library uses TurboModules and Hermes engine

Reanimated 2 is in an early version. As we wanted to share it with the community as soon as we could, the library still has some rough edges and limitations that we plan to address soon. Unfortunately some of the limitations come from the immaturity of React Native's TurboModule architecture that Reanimated 2 relies on. As a consequence we won't be able to support older versions of React Native and some issues that we yet plan to resolve may require full support of TurboModules which is not yet available to the public.

However, their documentation does not mention that you should enable it.

Further confusing is the fact that the value is false in the example project.

It is explicitly written in the comment that it should be set to true in order to allow libraries to use it.

# Use this property to enable support to the new architecture.
# This will allow you to use TurboModules and the Fabric render in
# your application. You should enable this flag either if you want
# to write custom TurboModules/Fabric components OR use libraries that
# are providing them.
newArchEnabled=false

Official React-native-reanimated-2 example

I am very confused.

Hey @YOEL311, although Reanimated v2 uses JSI & TurboModules under the hood (no need to enable it manually), it doesn't support the New Architecture (in particular, the new React Native renderer, also known as Fabric), you need to upgrade to v3.

what about react-native-reanimated-3
@tomekzaw
Does my project have to be with the new architecture for use with the reanimated-3 version?

[tomekzaw]

@YOEL311 Nope, Reanimated v3 supports both Paper (current architecture) and Fabric (new architecture).
