fix: skip bulk markers with an invalid coordinate instead of crashing the map

[jkasprzyk17]

Closes #171.

Descriptors passed through the bulk markers prop reached native unchecked, and with clusteringEnabled or above 500 markers they go through the background viewport pipeline, where a single NaN coordinate took the app down on both platforms. Reproduced with the example app's 10k-marker clustering scenario plus two NaN markers and one at infinity:

• iOS - Fatal error: Double value cannot be converted to Int because it is either infinite or NaN about two seconds after the scenario loads: Int(_:) traps while MarkerSpatialIndex / MarkerClusterEngine bucket the markers on computeQueue.
• Android - IllegalArgumentException: southern latitude exceeds northern latitude (NaN > NaN) from LatLngBounds.<init> in MarkerClusterEngine.clusters, on computeExecutor, where nothing catches it.

What changed

JS. normalizeMarkerDescriptors skips a descriptor whose coordinate cannot be placed (NaN, ±Infinity, out of range, or missing) with the __DEV__ warning a <Marker> child already gets - marker "<id>" skipped: invalid coordinate, once per descriptor. Valid ones still go through #179's shared buildMarkerDescriptor.

Native, both platforms. hybridRef reaches the native setter without passing through JS, so the dataset is also filtered where it enters the pipeline: MarkerRenderPipeline.setMarkers on iOS (shared by the Apple and Google controllers) and MarkerRenderState.setMarkers on Android. That covers the synchronous path (≤ 500 markers, no clustering) as well as the viewport pipeline. Android reports each skip to logcat, like the shape filters from #158; iOS skips silently, like its region and camera guards.

Android compute tasks. The index build and the viewport refresh now run through executeCompute, which catches and Log.es anything they throw, so a future bug in the index or the clustering leaves the markers on screen as they are instead of killing the app. clear() uses shutdownNow(), so builds and refreshes still queued at unmount are dropped - the generation check would have discarded their results anyway. The task already running is not interrupted in practice, since nothing in it checks the flag.

README. "Invalid input" no longer lists bulk markers as a gap, and names the one that remains (see below).

Worth a reviewer's attention

• The fingerprint is taken from the array as delivered, not as filtered, so re-delivering markers that are already drawn - the Android clusteringEnabled setter does this - neither re-filters nor re-logs them.
• On iOS the filter checks allSatisfy first and returns the array untouched in the common case: each descriptor is a C++-backed Nitro struct, so filter would copy every one of them.
• The dataset size that picks the synchronous path over the viewport pipeline now counts only placeable markers.

Tests

• bun - normalizeMarkerDescriptors with NaN / Infinity / out-of-range / missing coordinates, and one warning per skipped descriptor naming its id.
• JUnit - MarkerRenderState drops and reports unplaceable markers, and does not report them again on redelivery. MarkerViewportPipelineTest runs MarkerRenderState → MarkerSpatialIndex → MarkerClusterEngine.clusters on the JVM with two NaN descriptors; without the fix it throws the exact IllegalArgumentException above.
• Swift - none: MarkerDescriptor is a Nitro-generated C++ type, so the pipeline cannot live in the swift test targets. Covered by the runtime check below instead, as the issue suggested.

Verified locally

• bun test 325 pass / 0 fail on top of fix: treat null optional overlay fields as absent #179; typecheck and eslint clean.
• :react-native-better-maps:assembleDebug + testDebugUnitTest green (71 tests); ktlint clean.
• xcodebuild of the library scheme with the Google provider enabled (GoogleMapProviderAdapter.o at 918 KB, so the guarded code compiled); swift format lint clean; swift test green.
• Runtime, same scenario as above:
  • iOS simulator, Apple provider: with the JS filter temporarily bypassed, the native filter alone keeps the app alive and clustering; with the Swift change reverted it crashes as described. With the full change, three dev warnings - one per bad marker.
  • Android emulator: with both filters temporarily disabled, executeCompute catches and logs the exception and the app keeps running; with the native filter, logcat shows Skipped marker "…": it cannot be drawn. for each of the three; with the full change, the three JS warnings instead.
  • These runs predate a cleanup that replaced the Android filter loop with partition; the JUnit tests above cover that.

Known gaps and follow-ups

• Bulk polylines / polygons / circles are still validated only natively on Android - on iOS they reach MapKit and the Google Maps SDK unchecked, and no platform warns about them. fix: treat null optional overlay fields as absent #179 normalises their null fields but does not check coordinates. The README now says so.
• feat: native marker store fed by packed delta batches #69 (MarkerCollection) adds a second way for markers into the pipeline; when it is rebased, its store has to drop unplaceable coordinates the same way.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Markers with missing or invalid coordinates are now skipped before rendering, preventing clustering and viewport updates from failing on both Android and iOS.
  • Development builds warn when marker descriptors are skipped. Android also logs markers rejected during native validation.
  • Background marker computations are interrupted when cleared; failures no longer replace the current markers.

• Documentation

  • Clarified which invalid inputs are checked or reported on each platform, including gaps in bulk overlay validation.

Walkthrough

Bulk marker descriptors with invalid coordinates are filtered in JavaScript and native render pipelines. Development warnings identify skipped JavaScript descriptors. Android logs native skips and catches exceptions from computation tasks.

Validate bulk markers at the JavaScript entry point package/src/overlays/normalizeMarkerDescriptors.ts, package/src/overlays/__tests__/normalizeMarkerDescriptors.test.ts, README.md	Normalization skips descriptors with invalid or missing coordinates and warns in development with the descriptor ID. Tests check warning behavior and the order of valid descriptors. The README describes the validation and remaining bulk-overlay gaps.

Android reports skipped markers. Tests cover invalid-coordinate filtering, repeated delivery, map attachment, viewport thresholds, and clustering.
Handle Android compute-task failures package/android/src/main/java/com/margelo/nitro/nitromaps/MapOverlayController.kt	Viewport refreshes and spatial-index rebuilds use a wrapper that catches and logs exceptions. Clearing the controller interrupts queued computation tasks.

The coordinate guards can merge with a bounded performance follow-up: valid bulk marker updates allocate more than necessary, but no marker-rendering failure was established.

Return valid marker deliveries without copying.

When every descriptor is valid, placeable creates two lists and a replacement array before the setter stores the result. The native path retains and reads the delivered array but does not mutate it. Return delivered when all descriptors are valid.

Suggested fix

  private fun placeable(delivered: Array<MarkerDescriptor>): Array<MarkerDescriptor> {
+   if (delivered.all { it.isValid() }) {
+     return delivered
+   }
    val (placeable, skipped) = delivered.partition { it.isValid() }
    skipped.forEach(onSkippedMarker)
    return placeable.toTypedArray()
  }
