Description

iOS half of #4568. Inside ScrollView UIKit holds the touch for delaysContentTouches until it rules out a scroll, and a tap released within that window gets touchesBegan and touchesEnded delivered together, so onPressIn and onPressOut reach JS in one batch and feedback driven from them never shows.

With pressOutAfterAnimation, a press deferred that way holds onPressOut until the press-in animation (animationDuration) has played, the same moment the native press-out animation starts. onPress is not delayed. A press UIKit did not defer keeps its native timing; RN's own lists turn delaysContentTouches off, so they are unaffected.

Test plan

Tested on the following code:
import React, { useRef, useState } from 'react';
import { Animated, StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { ScrollView, Touchable } from 'react-native-gesture-handler';

// `pressOutAfterAnimation` (#4515): both cards drive a custom scale animation from
// onPressIn/onPressOut, inside a scrolling container. Tap them as briefly as you can.
// "animated" counts the taps whose press-in animation ran to completion: Android presses
// a quick tap on the UP, so without the prop onPressOut cancels the animation right away;
// with the prop onPressOut waits until the press-in animation (animationDuration) has played.
// The hold is measured from the native press, and the JS animation starts a few ms later, so
// the press-in duration is given a margin over the JS animation to keep the counter exact.
const ANIMATION_MS = 80;
const PRESS_IN_MS = 120;

function AnimatedCard({ withProp }: { withProp: boolean }) {
  const [taps, setTaps] = useState(0);
  const [animated, setAnimated] = useState(0);
  const scale = useRef(new Animated.Value(1)).current;

  const animateTo = (value: number, onDone?: () => void) =>
    Animated.timing(scale, {
      toValue: value,
      duration: ANIMATION_MS,
      useNativeDriver: true,
    }).start(({ finished }) => finished && onDone?.());

  return (
    <Touchable
      animationDuration={{ in: PRESS_IN_MS, out: ANIMATION_MS }}
      pressOutAfterAnimation={withProp}
      onPressIn={() => animateTo(0.94, () => setAnimated((n) => n + 1))}
      onPressOut={() => animateTo(1)}
      onPress={() => setTaps((n) => n + 1)}>
      <Animated.View
        style={[
          styles.card,
          withProp ? styles.cardWithProp : styles.cardWithoutProp,
          { transform: [{ scale }] },
        ]}>
        <Text style={styles.cardTitle}>
          {withProp ? 'With the prop' : 'Without the prop'}
        </Text>
        <Text style={styles.cardSubtitle}>
          pressOutAfterAnimation={String(withProp)}
        </Text>
        <View style={styles.stats}>
          <Stat label="taps" value={taps} />
          <Stat label="animated" value={animated} />
        </View>
      </Animated.View>
    </Touchable>
  );
}

function Stat({ label, value }: { label: string; value: number }) {
  return (
    <View style={styles.stat}>
      <Text style={styles.statValue}>{value}</Text>
      <Text style={styles.statLabel}>{label}</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

export default function PressOutAfterAnimationExample() {
  return (
    <ScrollView style={styles.root} contentContainerStyle={styles.content}>
      <Text style={styles.hint}>
        Tap each card as briefly as you can. The card scales down from onPressIn
        and back from onPressOut; "animated" counts the taps whose press-in
        animation finished.
      </Text>
      <AnimatedCard withProp={false} />
      <AnimatedCard withProp />
    </ScrollView>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  root: { backgroundColor: '#f4f3f8' },

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an iOS option to synchronize button press-out feedback with the tap animation when a press is delayed by a scrolling container.
    • When enabled, press-out feedback waits for any remaining animation time. Presses without a delay, or after the animation has finished, still respond immediately.
    • If a pending press-out is followed by a new press or the pointer re-enters the button, the pending feedback completes before the next press-in feedback.
📝 Summary

Walkthrough

The iOS button adds the pressOutAfterAnimation property. When enabled for a press delayed by an ancestor scroll view, the button can defer PressOut until the press-in animation finishes. The component view forwards the property to the button.

iOS button press-out timing

Property and deferred-press detection
packages/react-native-gesture-handler/apple/RNGestureHandlerButton.h, packages/react-native-gesture-handler/apple/RNGestureHandlerButtonComponentView.mm, packages/react-native-gesture-handler/apple/RNGestureHandlerButton.mm
The button exposes pressOutAfterAnimation, and the component view passes its value to the button. The button records when a press occurs inside an ancestor scroll view with delaysContentTouches enabled.
PressOut scheduling and lifecycle
packages/react-native-gesture-handler/apple/RNGestureHandlerButton.mm
Press-out paths use timing-aware dispatch. When the configured conditions apply, the button schedules PressOut for the remaining press-in animation time and retains any following InteractionFinished event. Re-entry or a new press flushes a pending event. Window removal flushes it, and recycling cancels it.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e4eda

Brief taps may leave JS reporting a pressed state after native feedback has cleared under Reduce Motion or very short animation settings. The impact is bounded, but the timing should be checked before merging.

the pending PressOut before dispatching the next PressIn, matching the existing
flush behavior in the Began branch.
- Line 745: Update isInsideDelayingScrollView to compile the UIView and
UIScrollView check only for UIKit targets, and return NO on macOS.
- Around line 786-789: Update flushPendingPressOutEvent to retain the PressOut
event data separately from its scheduled dispatch block; cancel only the
scheduled delivery, then deliver PressOut directly during the flush so a new
press does not drop the event.
