Closes #125.

A coordinate, region or radius that is NaN or out of range used to be forwarded verbatim to MapKit and the Google Maps SDK. MapKit raises an Objective-C NSException that Swift cannot catch; Google Maps throws inside a Nitro view prop setter, which aborts the whole Fabric mount transaction and takes every other overlay on the screen down with it. The JS half for overlay children landed earlier in #143 (issue #128); this is the rest — the native guards on both platforms and region.

What changed

JS. An unusable region is held at the last one the view accepted, with a __DEV__ warning. The imperative fitToCoordinates drops unplaceable coordinates and warns the same way, so both platforms report it identically. Coordinate predicates moved from overlays/ to utils/validateGeometry.ts, so region/ no longer reaches through another feature to use them.

Kotlin. Coordinate, Region and overlay-descriptor validity extensions. applyRegion and fitToCoordinates check before building bounds — fitToCoordinates filters on the calling thread, so a bad value no longer reaches LatLngBounds on the main looper, where the throw surfaces as an uncaught exception the JS caller cannot even try/catch. MapOverlayController both pre-filters descriptors and treats an IllegalArgumentException out of GoogleMap.add* as a skipped overlay rather than letting it unwind reconcile.

Swift. Both provider adapters guard applyRegion with CLLocationCoordinate2DIsValid and filter fitToCoordinates.

Two things the review changed, worth a reviewer's attention

Dropping the prop to undefined was itself a crash. The first cut passed undefined to the native region prop. React rewrites a removed prop to null (ReactNativeAttributePayload.js:271), the optional JSI converter short-circuits only on undefined (JSIConverter+Optional.hpp:26), and the generated struct converter then calls asObject on it — the same mechanism as #119. So a mounted view going valid → invalid threw MapView.region: Value is null, expected an Object. Holding the last accepted region avoids the transition entirely, and is also what the map should show.

Centre and span were checked independently. { latitude: 85, latitudeDelta: 20 } puts an edge at 95° and passed every guard. applyRegion now routes through view.regionThatFits(_:) — as animateToClusterRegion already did — and the GMSCoordinateBounds conversion clamps latitude, so such a span is pulled back to what the map can show instead of being rejected.

Tests

Bun tests for the JS validators and the region/fit resolution, JUnit for the Kotlin predicates, and swift-testing for the span rule. The iOS tests live in the ios/Geometry SPM target rather than package/iosTests/, because autolinking declares the pod without :testspecs — iosTests/ is never built, so a test there would never run. CI runs all three.

Verified locally: bun test 194 pass, typecheck and eslint clean, :react-native-better-maps:assembleDebug + testDebugUnitTest green (26 tests), swift test green, and xcodebuild on the Google leg (GoogleMapProviderAdapter.o at 907 KB, so the #if canImport(GoogleMaps) code really compiled).

Known gaps, documented rather than implied

The README's new "Invalid input" section states them: the camera prop is not validated anywhere, and descriptors passed through the bulk markers prop are checked on neither side — only the <Marker> child is (that path belongs to #128's scope). Neither crashes; both are follow-ups.

An invalid `region` reached `MKCoordinateRegion` and `LatLngBounds` verbatim:
MapKit raises an Objective-C NSException that Swift cannot catch, and Google
Maps throws inside a Nitro view prop setter, which aborts the whole Fabric
mount transaction and takes every other overlay with it.

- JS: an unusable `region` is held at the last one the view accepted, with a
  `__DEV__` warning. It cannot become `undefined`, because React rewrites a
  removed prop to `null`, the optional JSI converter only short-circuits on
  `undefined`, and the generated struct converter then calls `asObject` on it -
  the same mechanism as #119.
- Kotlin: `Coordinate`, `Region` and overlay descriptor validity extensions;
  `applyRegion` and `fitToCoordinates` check before building bounds, and
  `MapOverlayController` both pre-filters descriptors and treats an
  `IllegalArgumentException` from `GoogleMap.add*` as a skipped overlay rather
  than letting it unwind `reconcile`.
- Swift: both provider adapters guard `applyRegion` with
  `CLLocationCoordinate2DIsValid` and filter `fitToCoordinates`. A span whose
  edges run past a pole is pulled back with `regionThatFits` - as
  `animateToClusterRegion` already did - instead of being rejected, and the
  Google bounds conversion clamps latitude for the same reason.

`fitToCoordinates` filters on the calling thread, so a bad coordinate no longer
reaches `LatLngBounds` on the main looper, where the throw surfaces as an
uncaught exception the JS caller cannot handle. The imperative method validates
in JS too, so both platforms report the skip the same way.

The shared bounds rule lives in the `ios/Geometry` SPM target because that is
the only iOS test target CI runs - autolinking declares the pod without
`:testspecs`, so `iosTests/` is never built.

Drive-by, all flagged by review: the coordinate predicates move out of
`overlays/` into `utils/validateGeometry.ts` so `region/` no longer depends on
them through another feature; the three identical `warn*` helpers collapse onto
one `createWarn`; the logcat tag has one definition again; and the shared
`console.warn` spy is cleared before each test, not only after - it leaks across
files and already failed `warnOverlay` in a full-suite run.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid coordinates, regions, radii, polylines, polygons, and circles are now safely ignored.
    • Camera fitting filters unusable coordinates and avoids updates when none are valid.
    • Region updates preserve the last accepted valid region when new input is invalid.
    • Latitude bounds are clamped at the poles for safer region handling.
    • Android reports skipped or rejected map content through diagnostic logs.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on invalid input handling, validation limits, warnings, and region clamping.

Walkthrough

The change adds invalid-input validation across JavaScript, Android, and iOS. Invalid coordinates, regions, radii, and overlays are filtered or skipped. Development warnings and native logs report rejected inputs. Tests and README documentation describe the rules.

Explanation

Issue [#125] is substantially implemented. The PR validates coordinates, regions, radii, and overlay geometry. It filters invalid fit inputs, guards native region paths, preserves valid neighboring overlays, logs skipped Android overlays, warns for supported JavaScript inputs, and adds Kotlin and JavaScript regression tests. Two coding requirements remain unmet. MapViewProps and MapView expose and validate region, but they contain no initialRegion path, so the required invalid initialRegion handling is not implemented. The iOS tests cover RegionSpan.isDrawable only. The repository contains no XCTest for AppleMapProviderAdapter.applyRegion that verifies NaN and out-of-range regions leave the current view region unchanged.

Resolution

Implement the required initialRegion validation and retention behavior, or provide repository evidence that initialRegion is intentionally unsupported and therefore outside [#125]. Add iOS adapter-level tests for applyRegion with NaN and out-of-range regions. Verify that the existing map region remains unchanged.

Comment thread package/src/region/resolveRegionProp.ts Outdated
Unsetting `region` on a mounted view reached the native prop as `null` - React
rewrites a removed prop that way - and the generated struct converter throws on
it, the same crash an invalid region used to cause. The invariant the file
already documented now covers both transitions.

Conflicts with the fixes that landed on main since 1.2.1, resolved as follows:

- Android region fits keep main's validity check and zero fit padding (#163) under the
  skip-cache, and run through the shared runOnMain helper (#161).
- Android shapes keep main's validation and SDK-rejection guard (#158). An in-place update
  the SDK rejects removes the overlay, as a rejected re-add did.
- Android marker refreshes use main's MarkerRenderState (#155) and executeCompute (#180). The
  refresh inbox frees its slot when clear() drops the queued task with shutdownNow().
- iOS Google checks that the region is valid before the skip-cache.
- MapView compares region and camera after validation (#160), because an invalid camera may
  have no center to compare.
