Issue : Touch broken (Android/Debug)

[maxoux]

Hi everyone !

First, i'm sorry if it's not very clear, it's my first request and i'm not sure about the process about this kind of post, so if you have any recommendations to structure this post and make it more clear, feel free to tell me.

While developping an app for my office, the App suddenly had a weird bug in debug only.
Any touch or scroll not responding, like a freeze :

• Button not working and don't display animations
• Scroll.. Don't scroll
• All timeout and animations programmatically (with setTimeout) started works, so it's not really a freeze
• The dev menu works and i can toggle debug js, or inspector
• The inspector can be toggled, but the tab don't respond. A tap on a component don't respond too.
• The console don't show any unusual error, adb logcat either

Additionnal Informations :

• App inited with Ignite, and it's worked perfectly for several weeks
• Use of react-native CodePush
• Just before this bug i tried to add to build.gradle an applicationIdSuffix to debug config, but even after removing this line the bug occurs

Solutions and Test tried :

• Add setTimeout to navigate on another page to check if it's not a freeze => navigation works, animations too
• Checkout previous commit to recompile from sain android config => Touch not respond
• Init a new app template with a simple button => The app example works
• Move js source code to main application => Touch not respond (I assume at this point it's not a problem from source code but from the configurations)
• Build on release (with self signed certificate) => App works

Sadly i'm not very skilled in the native part of android, so i'm not sure where to check and after few searchs i couldn't find any similar behaviors, so any tips or recommendations are welcomes.

Cordially,
