react-native-geolocation-service VS react-native-reanimated

You can follow the more detail guide on their documentation. We already setup Location Permission for both iOS & Android. I the case for iOS we will run:

I tried Agontuk/react-native-geolocation-service. But it doesn't seem identify whether the user has turned off or on location while using the app

react-native-geolocation-service

Yeah, i know but it's too much! I have a package named react-native-geolocation-service it's required to add swift file and the bridging header so after deleting it i got this size ( from 172 to 61 MB) 🙂

use third party lib that is a beast, but will require a lot of work and upfront knowledge (https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/)

3. Reanimated 2

the solution is react-native-reanimated. reanimated helps us to create smooth and performant animations with minimal setup, with a lot of helpers, and is relatively easy to use. another useful library for handling gesture animations is react-native-gesture-handler which is defined as:

One of my first impressions was the vast difference in ease of usage of the React Native Gesture Handler in comparison to React Native’s Gesture Responder System. One less obvious impression was how React Native Gesture Handler’s seamless integration with React Native Reanimated transformed fluidity and complexity of animations. Hence, I concluded on leveraging on the power boost from the duo. Armed to the teeth with weapons of mass destruction, I proceeded on the journey to build NestedLists. 😂

I've been writing some gestures and animation code for React Native using https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated library, which has an opt-in mechanism to offload animation and input handling code onto native UI thread, to make sure it's not interrupted by application code in JS thread.

I don't have a good grasp on the native implementation, but here's an issue I opened a while back with a repro: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/issues/2845

That would be nice, although I took a quick spin on the reanimated example app with new architecture enabled and didn't notice much difference: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/tree/main/FabricExample

I’ve used react-native-reanimated package for animation. Reanimated library has been with us for a while. About two years ago they had a massive update and introduced Reanimated2. It worth checking (if you haven’t yet).

Layout Animations are the easiest way to animate entering, exiting and change layout of your React Native components with Reanimated 2 library.
