Following up from here (#3113) .
The reason the RNCamera component is always rendered twice (aka, a
defaultView
is created on the native side) is because ofRCT_CUSTOM_VIEW_PROPERTY
combined with a property that is set tonull
. When this happens, RN creates a "fake" default view to store default props. Although this works fine most of the time, it creates some unnecessary classes and resources being kept in memory even after the camera unmounts.After digging a bit, the prop
cameraId
being null is the sole reason RN creates thisdefaultView
. This PR uses an empty string as the "no value" value instead, removing the extra view creation.Note: The change is not breaking, anyone using
cameraId=null
will continue to work as before. However, to prevent this extra view from being created, the prop must be set tocameraId=''
instead.Lastly, this only shows how we must be careful with
null
properties and resources acquired/released in the init/dealloc methods!
