Animated: `useNativeDriver` was not specified issue of ReactNativeBase Input

Just add useNativeDriver: true to the animation config.

const [animatePress, setAnimatePress] = useState(new Animated.Value(1))

const animateIn = () => {
  Animated.timing(animatePress, {
    toValue: 0.5,
    duration: 500,
    useNativeDriver: true // Add This line
  }).start();
}

UPDATED

Solution:

As the warning says, we need to specify the useNativeDriver option explicitly and set it to true or false .

1- Animation methods

Refer to Animated doc , with animation types or composition functions, for example, Animated.decay(), Animated.timing(), Animated.spring(), Animated.parallel(), Animated.sequence(), specify useNativeDriver .

Animated.timing(this.state.animatedValue, {
  toValue: 1,
  duration: 500,
  useNativeDriver: true, // Add this line
}).start();

2- Animatable components

Animated exports the following animatable components using the above wrapper:

  • Animated.Image
  • Animated.ScrollView
  • Animated.Text
  • Animated.View
  • Animated.FlatList
  • Animated.SectionList

When working with Animated.event() , add useNativeDriver: false/true to the animation config.

<Animated.ScrollView
  scrollEventThrottle={1}
  onScroll={Animated.event(
    [{ nativeEvent: { contentOffset: { y: this.state.animatedValue } } }],
    { useNativeDriver: true } // Add this line
  )}
>
  {content}
</Animated.ScrollView>

Facing the same issue for a long time and still no update from native-base developers yet in 2021.

Meanwhile use a workaround to avoid irritating yellow warnings of useNativeDriver.

UPDATE RN V0.63 ABOVE

YellowBox is now changed and replace with LogBox

FUNCTIONAL

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { LogBox } from 'react-native';

useEffect(() => {
    LogBox.ignoreLogs(['Animated: `useNativeDriver`']);
}, [])

CLASS BASED

import React from 'react';
import { LogBox } from 'react-native';

componentDidMount() {
    LogBox.ignoreLogs(['Animated: `useNativeDriver`']);
}

UPDATE RN V0.63 BELOW

FUNCTIONAL

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { YellowBox } from 'react-native';

useEffect(() => {
    YellowBox.ignoreWarnings(['Animated: `useNativeDriver`']);
}, [])

CLASS BASED

import React from 'react';
import { YellowBox } from 'react-native';

componentDidMount() {
    YellowBox.ignoreWarnings(['Animated: `useNativeDriver`']);
}

Seem to be a known bug of current nativebase.io Release: https://github.com/GeekyAnts/NativeBase/issues/3109
