Closes #131

Problem

Every MapViewRef method rejected with MapView is not mounted when it was called from a
consumer's mount effect. useImperativeHandle publishes a non-null handle during the commit,
so mapRef.current?.fitToCoordinates(...) is not short-circuited by optional chaining: the call
happens and returns an already-rejected promise. Without a .catch the camera silently never
moves.

Root cause

Nitro delivers the hybridRef view prop one JS -> UI -> JS round trip after the commit that
mounts the view, so a mount effect is structurally too early on both platforms. Android has a
second window on top of that: between hybridRef arriving and getMapAsync delivering the
GoogleMap, the adapter's camera methods returned early on a null map while HybridMapView
had already resolved the promise — so buffering in JS alone would have turned a loud rejection
into a silent success.

Fix

JS — MapViewCommands (package/src/native/mapViewCommands.ts) buffers calls made before
hybridRef arrives and replays them in the order they were made. Calls still buffered when the
view unmounts reject; calls made afterwards reject from JS instead of reaching a released native
object. A command that throws synchronously rather than rejecting settles its own promise instead
of abandoning everything queued behind it.

The channel is also replaced when the native view's identity (provider + googleMapId)
changes, so calls issued during that swap are buffered for the incoming view rather than
dispatched to the outgoing one — the same symptom as #131 on a sibling path.

Android — DeferredGoogleMap holds work that needs the GoogleMap until getMapAsync
delivers one, and configureMap drains it after replaying the region/camera props, so an
imperative call wins over the props it was issued after. release() is terminal: work queued
afterwards is rejected rather than left waiting forever, and it runs on every teardown path
including onHostDestroy. applyCamera/animateCamera/fitToCoordinates now return
Promise<Unit> from MapProviderAdapter, so a resolved promise means the work reached the map
instead of meaning nothing. fetchCamera/getVisibleRegion no longer answer with a placeholder
camera or an all-zero region.

iOS — unchanged. Its adapter owns a map view from the moment it is installed.

No timers, sleeps or retries anywhere in the change; readiness is modelled as a state transition
on both sides.

Verification

Manual, example app, new "Fit on mount" scenario (issues animateCamera then fitToCoordinates
from a mount effect and reports how each promise settled):

Platform / provider Result
Android / Google Maps, emulator animate ok | fit ok, camera fitted to all four markers
iOS / Apple MapKit, simulator animate ok | fit ok, camera fitted to all four markers
iOS / Google Maps, simulator fit ok, camera fitted to all four markers

Both promises settle and the replay order holds on device: the fit is issued second and wins, so
the map ends fitted rather than zoomed on the single city animateCamera targeted.

Automated: 11 unit tests under the existing bun test (buffering, replay order, rejection
propagation, a synchronously throwing command, rejection at unmount, rejection after unmount, the
StrictMode teardown/setup cycle, and a second attach replacing a stale handle); tsc for
package and example; eslint; ktlint; and the CI gradle pair
:react-native-better-maps:assembleDebug + :react-native-better-maps:testDebugUnitTest with no
Kotlin warnings.

Docs

README gains a "When the ref is usable" section and a troubleshooting row; MapViewRef JSDoc
states when the handle starts working and how it fails; docs/architecture.md documents both
buffers and why onMapReady is a separate, later signal.

Notes for review

  • MapProviderAdapter is an Android-internal interface with one implementor; the public
    MapViewRef TypeScript surface is unchanged, so this is not a breaking change for consumers.
  • fitToCoordinates on Android resolves when the camera update is issued, or when it is
    scheduled behind the view's first layout pass if the map view has no size yet. The inline
    branch is the common one; the deferred branch is tracked separately.
  • fitToCoordinates still animates by default on iOS and jumps on Android when animated is
    omitted. That divergence is pre-existing, is now documented on the JSDoc, and deserves its own
    change with a changelog entry.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Map commands issued before native map creation are queued and replayed in order once the map is available.
    • Added mount-time camera fitting, with an example that automatically fits the view to marker coordinates.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Camera operations now report completion and provide clear rejections when the map is unavailable or an operation is interrupted.
    • Invalid camera values are rejected immediately on both platforms; out-of-range pitch values are clamped.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified ref readiness, command queuing, camera operation behavior, error handling, StrictMode behavior, and onMapReady timing.

Walkthrough

MapViewRef commands now queue until native attachment, replay in order, and reject during or after unmount. Android defers map operations until GoogleMap and layout are available. The example adds mount-time camera fitting, and the documentation describes the readiness contract.

Changes

Imperative map readiness

Layer / File(s) Summary
JS command channel and MapView integration
package/src/native/mapViewCommands.ts, package/src/hooks/useMapViewCommands.ts, package/src/components/MapView.tsx, package/src/camera/runWithValidCamera.ts, package/src/native/__tests__/mapViewCommands.test.ts, package/src/camera/__tests__/runWithValidCamera.test.ts
Commands buffer before native attachment, replay in order, convert synchronous failures to rejections, and reject during or after unmount. MapView uses the command channel for imperative methods and validates camera arguments before dispatch. Tests cover replay, errors, lifecycle transitions, and invalid camera inputs.
Android deferred map execution
package/android/src/main/java/com/margelo/nitro/nitromaps/MapProviderAdapter.kt, package/android/src/main/java/com/margelo/nitro/nitromaps/RunOnMain.kt, package/android/src/main/java/com/margelo/nitro/nitromaps/DeferredGoogleMap.kt, package/android/src/main/java/com/margelo/nitro/nitromaps/DeferredLayout.kt, package/android/src/main/java/com/margelo/nitro/nitromaps/GoogleMapProviderAdapter.kt, package/android/src/main/java/com/margelo/nitro/nitromaps/HybridMapView.kt
Camera and visible-region operations return promises. Android defers operations until map attachment and, for coordinate fitting, until layout. Pending operations are settled or canceled when the view is released.
Mount-time camera-fit example
example/App.tsx, example/examples/types.ts, example/examples/mountEffectCamera.ts, example/examples/index.ts
The example app adds a mount-time camera-fit scenario. It reports pending, resolved, and rejected results, ignores stale scene results, and keys scenes by scenario, animation option, and provider.
Readiness contract documentation
README.md, docs/architecture.md, package/src/types/ref.ts
Documentation describes queued ref calls, ordered replay, unmount rejection, camera validation, Android deferral, and the distinction between ref readiness and onMapReady.

failures via reject, and wrap camera update creation and
moveCamera/animateCamera in failure handling so callback exceptions also reject
the promise; ensure await delivers existing waiting results without resolving
early.
- Around line 351-352: Update the layout-deferred camera flow around
fitToCoordinates and runWhenViewLaidOut to track registered global-layout

Both review findings were reproduced against the code and are fixed in f6a1b0c.

DeferredGoogleMap.attach reviving a released map — real, and introduced by this PR. attach restored map without consulting isReleased, and promise tests currentMap before isReleased, so a getMapAsync callback landing after destroyMapView put the queue back to work against a destroyed MapView. attach now returns early once the instance is released.

Stale mount-fit status in the example — the effect now clears a flag on cleanup and drops both handlers afterwards, so a scene that is swapped out mid-call cannot report over its replacement.

Re-verified after the fixes: bun test 206/0, tsc for package and example, eslint, ktlint, prettier, and :react-native-better-maps:assembleDebug + testDebugUnitTest with no Kotlin warnings.

The branch was also rebased onto current main (after #90, #155, #158, #159). Two conflicts needed a real merge rather than picking a side: fitToCoordinates keeps #158's coordinate filtering inside this PR's buffered call on both the JS and Kotlin sides. One note there — #158's comment said a throw out of LatLngBounds "lands on the looper, where the JS caller cannot catch it"; that is no longer true now that the bounds are built inside DeferredGoogleMap's mapCatching, so the comment was reworded while the filtering itself stayed. Happy to restore the original wording if preferred.

The runtime check was repeated on the rebased tree with freshly built apps: Android/Google, iOS/Apple and iOS/Google all report Mount fit · resolved with the camera visibly fitted.

🟠 Major · Stop the map-ready callback after release. · GoogleMapProviderAdapter.kt:87-90

package/android/src/main/java/com/margelo/nitro/nitromaps/GoogleMapProviderAdapter.kt:87-90
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Stop the map-ready callback after release.

If releaseAdapter() destroys the adapter before getMapAsync invokes its callback, the callback still assigns googleMap and calls configureMap(). This performs map operations and installs listeners after MapView.onDestroy(). DeferredGoogleMap.attach() only rejects the map later.

All seven review findings are now addressed — five in e85b14a, two earlier in f6a1b0c.

fitToCoordinates resolving before the camera moves (Major). Correct, and the sharpest one. DeferredGoogleMap gained a promiseCompletion overload that hands the work a completion, and fitToCoordinates settles from inside the runWhenMapViewLaidOut callback, so a camera update parked behind the first layout pass no longer reports success early and a throw from that callback rejects instead of escaping to the looper. The completion funnels every outcome through one guard, so the promise settles exactly once.

Synchronous failures on the attached path. Agreed, and the framing convinced me: the asymmetry meant the same call was catchable or not purely by timing. Both paths now go through one runCommand helper, with a test for each.

Unmount rejection in the documented examples and StrictMode readiness. Both examples now attach a handler, and the README readiness section says plainly that StrictMode's extra teardown is what rejects the first call in development while the second does the work.

MapView control-flow complexity. Verified as pre-existing rather than introduced here: substituting main's own MapView.tsx into this tree reproduces the identical warning. The branch's own contribution is gone regardless — the readiness channel now lives in useMapViewCommands instead of two extra branches inline. Reducing the rest means unpicking the component's prop-normalisation ternaries, which is not this PR's subject.

Re-verified after the fixes: bun test 207/0, tsc for package and example, eslint, ktlint, prettier, :app:installDebug, and the CI gradle pair with no Kotlin warnings. Runtime repeated on both platforms with freshly built apps — Android/Google and iOS/Apple both report Mount fit · resolved with the camera visibly fitted, which also exercises the new completion-based path on Android.

react-doctor still exits non-zero on this tree, from the pre-existing no-ref-current-in-render error in useCollectedOverlays.ts:59; that one is untouched by this PR.

One more finding was hiding behind an automatic resolution, now fixed in 87aa3b7.

The second review's new comment — unmount the command channel during layout cleanup on MapView.tsx:162 — was posted just after e85b14a landed. That commit had moved the effect into useMapViewCommands, so GitHub marked the comment outdated and the thread was auto-resolved. The code had moved; the problem had not.

It was a real window: the channel was closed from a passive effect, which React runs after it has already removed the host view, so until then the channel still held a live handle and did not know it was unmounted. A retained imperative handle reached the dead native object instead of the rejection this API documents. It is narrow — React nulls ref.current on unmount, so the common mapRef.current?.… call short-circuits, and the error text is identical either way — but the rejection should come from JS, not from a round trip into a released view. The channel now closes from the layout phase, where cleanup runs before the view is detached.

Verified with that change: bun test 207/0, tsc for package and example, eslint, prettier, :app:installDebug. Runtime repeated on both platforms — Android/Google and iOS/Apple both report Mount fit · resolved with the camera fitted. That was the check worth running rather than assuming: moving commands.mount() into the layout phase could have reordered it against a consumer's mount effect, and it did not.

Every MapViewRef method rejected with "MapView is not mounted" when it was
called from a consumer's mount effect. Nitro delivers the hybridRef view prop
one JS -> UI -> JS round trip after the commit that mounts the view, so the
handle React publishes during that commit has nothing behind it yet, and the
camera silently never moved.

MapViewCommands buffers calls made in that window and replays them in the order
they were made as soon as hybridRef arrives. Calls still buffered when the view
unmounts reject, and calls made afterwards reject from JS rather than reaching a
released native object.

Android needed a second buffer. MapView.getMapAsync answers later than the Nitro
view becomes reachable, and until then the adapter's camera methods returned
early on a null GoogleMap while HybridMapView had already resolved the promise,
so flushing the JS buffer alone would have turned a loud rejection into a silent
success. DeferredGoogleMap holds that work until the map exists, configureMap
drains it after replaying the region/camera props, and the three camera commands
now resolve when they reach the map instead of immediately. fetchCamera and
getVisibleRegion no longer answer with a placeholder camera or an all-zero
region. iOS needs no change: its adapter owns a map view from the moment it is
installed.

Closes #131
`DeferredGoogleMap.attach` restored the map without checking the terminal
released state, and `promise` tests the map before that state, so a
`getMapAsync` callback arriving after `destroyMapView` revived the queue and ran
work against a map whose `MapView` was already destroyed.

The example scene's mount-fit probe also reported its own rejection over the
status of the scene that replaced it; its effect now drops results once the
scene is gone.
`runWhenViewLaidOut` runs inline only when the map view already has a size;
otherwise it registers a layout listener and returns, so the promise reported
success for a camera that had not moved yet and a throw from the later callback
could not reject it. `DeferredGoogleMap.promiseCompletion` hands the work a
completion instead, and `fitToCoordinates` settles from inside the layout
callback.

A command that throws instead of rejecting now rejects on both paths of
`MapViewCommands.run`; previously only the buffered one did, so whether a caller
could catch the failure depended on timing alone. The channel itself moves into
`useMapViewCommands`, which keeps the readiness concern in one named place.

The README and `MapViewRef` examples handle the rejection they document, and the
README says that StrictMode's extra teardown is what triggers it in development.
The channel was closed from a passive effect, which React runs after it has
already removed the host view. In that window the channel still held a live
handle and had not been told it was unmounted, so a retained imperative handle
reached the dead native object instead of the rejection the API documents.
Closing it from the layout phase, where cleanup runs before the view is
detached, removes the window.

Cancel layout-waiting fit operations on release.

promiseCompletion has already received the GoogleMap when runWhenMapViewLaidOut registers its layout listener. DeferredGoogleMap.release() rejects only operations still waiting for a map. It does not settle this operation. If the view is released while it remains zero-sized, fitToCoordinates() can remain pending indefinitely. Remove the listener and reject the promise from destroyMapView. This is separate from resolving only after the layout callback runs.

The camera prop can only skip a camera the map cannot use, but setCamera
and animateCamera have a promise to report it on. They resolved anyway -
on Android only once the Google map arrived - for a camera that never moved
the map, which is the silent no-op MapViewRef rules out.

They now reject straight away, before the call is queued, so the rejection
does not wait for the native map and is the same on Android and on both iOS
providers. The native guards stay behind it as a backstop and still only
skip, since the prop path has no promise to reject.
…re-mount

Resolves the conflict with #163 and #165 in GoogleMapProviderAdapter.kt. fitToCoordinates
keeps this branch's completion-based flow and computes the insets with
expandedForEdgePadding inside the layout callback, where the map view already has its
laid-out size. mainHandler goes away with the move of runOnMain into RunOnMain.kt;
density stays for toPixels.
…eleased

fitToCoordinates waits for the map view's first layout pass, because newLatLngBounds throws on
a view without a size. Nothing took that layout listener down, so a map released before the pass
left the promise pending forever, and the listener stayed on the window's ViewTreeObserver,
holding the destroyed map.

DeferredLayout now owns the wait and destroyMapView releases it: a waiting fit rejects, and the
region and viewport waits are dropped. The listener is registered only while the view is attached
to a window, on that window's observer. React Native detaches the view before it drops it, and a
detached view hands out a stand-in observer the listener could never be removed from.

Both findings from the last review are addressed: the invalid-camera one in 8c22474, and the outside-diff one, Cancel layout-waiting fit operations on release, in ea85893.

Layout-waiting fit on release. Real, and wider than the promise. Nothing ever took the layout listener down, so a map released before its first layout pass left the fitToCoordinates promise pending forever, and the listener stayed on the window's ViewTreeObserver, holding the destroyed map. Removing it from destroyMapView alone would not have worked: React Native detaches the view before it drops it, and a detached view hands out a stand-in observer the listener was never added to. The wait now lives in DeferredLayout, which registers its listener only while the view is attached to a window and takes it off on detach. destroyMapView releases it, so a waiting fit rejects with MapView was released before it was laid out, and the region and viewport waits are dropped.

Checked on an Android emulator with a throwaway probe: three maps that call fitToCoordinates from a mount effect, run once on the old adapter and once on the fixed one.

Map Before After
Zero height, unmounted before any layout never settles rejects after 5 s
Zero height, grown to 200 dp after 3 s resolves after 3031 ms resolves after 3030 ms
Normal size resolves after 170 ms resolves after 169 ms

This push also merges main (bf13230). The conflict with #163 and #165 was in GoogleMapProviderAdapter.kt only: fitToCoordinates keeps this branch's completion-based flow and computes the insets with expandedForEdgePadding inside the layout callback, where the map view already has its laid-out size.

The CI gradle pair and ktlint pass on the fix; bun test and tsc were rerun on the merge, and the fix itself is Kotlin-only.

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.
