Recommend Solution

I just tried to fix it by replacing UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.bounds.size, !hasAlpha, 0.0); by [[UIGraphicsImageRenderer alloc] initWithSize: self.bounds.size]; in BVLinearGradientLayer.m file like this screenshot and the app can run normally.

Please check it and update the library as soon as possible. Thank you very much.

The gradient view created is not visible。 @mvn-khoavo-dn

I have also encountered the same problem. Has anyone solved it

This is a big problem. I am experiencing the same problem with IOS 17. The app is in production and I think if people update to IOS 17 it will crash immediately👀

I believe this issue has already been fixed by @Caiopia in #626 - The patch will be part of the upcoming 3.0.0 release (currently in alpha, beta coming soon). It has also been cherry-picked to the 2.8 series: https://github.com/react-native-linear-gradient/react-native-linear-gradient/releases/tag/v2.8.3

After upgrading to 2.8 it works again. I think this issue can be closed

I am still getting this error unfortunately. The problem could be because I am placing the linear gradient insdie of an animated view.

xcode 15.0.1 have same problem in gradient text

NOTE
the healthiest, if the project is small, update the react native version

WARNING
Since UIGraphicsBeginImageContext has been deprecated, it may also be caused by other libraries. For example; react-native-fast-image etc.
also used in older react-native versions

INFO
You can find where they are used by searching UIGraphicsBeginImageContext. Perform the search through xcode.
