Touch animations begin to slow, after multiple touches - on device, not simulator (iOS) #9408
Description
Activity
As a follow up, the lagging behavior seems to be quite sporadic. Sometimes it happens while something is loading in the app, and sometimes not. Sometimes it happens if a video is playing, and sometimes not. The lack of consistency is making it extremely challenging to address.
We have this same issue with one particular animation. After selecting it several times, the entire app begins to slow down, as if the rendering get flooded and is unable to recover.
Closing this ticket, I would recommend LayoutAnimation over the Animated API for any similar issues.

I'm having a strange problem. I have a little piece of UI that "spring" animates when the user taps it. It expands the first time, and shrinks the second time, and so on.
On the simulator for an iphone 6, it flies - works great.
On my device (running with debug=false & no remote JS debugging), the first time I tap it works fine, but I'm noticing if I tap it a lot, it seems like the taps start to build up and everything starts to lag. As in the animation will be responding to taps from seconds earlier. (To reiterate, this does not happen in the simulator).
I've put the animation in a requestAnimationFrame block (that I am clearing on unmount), but that didn't seem to fix it.
The memory for the app never seems to be above 90MB when this is happening, and CPU has jumped when the animation starts, but drops back down pretty quickly.
The only other thing I can think of, is that the video component is present.
Should I be trying to stop previous running animations on successive taps?
