React Native .59+ support tracking

[LeoNatan]

Since this appears to a major release for our community, I figured it would be a good idea to collect the various issue we and the community see.

iOS

• On iOS, there is nothing inherent that should block Detox, so it should be supported
• We've seen several issues related to React Navigation and React Native Gesture Handler (Detox doesn't work with React-Native 0.59 + React-Navigation #1207, Taps do not register on iOS simulator #1224)
  • We believe these issues are not related to Detox but bugs in the aforementioned frameworks
• Animations fail with Animated (Animations are not firing after upgrading to React Native 0.59.2 #1234)

Android (#1181)

• Support on Android is blocked due to a bug in React Native (View.getGlobalVisibleRect() is broken in some use cases facebook/react-native#23870)
  • Also see Detox doesn't work with React-Native 0.59 on Android #1208

If you see more issues with RN .59 and above, which are not covered here, please create a new issue and post a link here so I update this page.

Opened a related issue here: #1234

[LeoNatan]

#1234 has been fixed. Detox 12.1 is out with the fix.

Btw, is the current Detox release (12.3) supporting RN 0.58 for Android ? Currently, the documentation says:

The following React Native versions have been tested:

iOS	Android
<=0.58	<=0.56

[LeoNatan]

I think we're still stuck with the Android version. @d4vidi Any updates?

[diegolmello]

@LeoNatan Can you take a look at #1391?

[LeoNatan]

I think this can be closed. We support 0.59.x and there are no known serious issues anymore.
