React Native random white screens throughout debug and release app

284 Views Asked by At

I've been working on a React Native app on an Android tablet for my current contract and it's now going through its Alpha phase. For the most part it's working very well, it's responsive, performant, and mostly stable.

There's one issue that keeps occurring though which I'm having trouble tracking down. It seems very random since I've seen it happen on nearly every screen in the app all at times.
When transitioning to a new screen, I just get a blank white screen. Seems like the javascript just doesn't get loaded and the UI never loads. This happens in both our debug dev versions, and our bundled release versions.

Some things to note about the architecture

Android 6.0
React 15.4.1
React Native 0.39
Flux 3.1.0

I know this isn't a lot to go on so I'm mostly looking for people that may have experienced this problem (that wasn't related to the development server issues) and what they had found as a cause in their app. Hoping to get some suggestions of what to look at or possibly how to even troubleshoot what's causing this.

Oh one other thing, If I background the app when a white screen happens, then select the app from my running apps list, the screen loads just fine and I'm able to continue using the app as if nothing happened.

Sorry for the vagueness here but I'm really at a loss and looking for any kind of suggestions. Thanks!
