getStrokes serialized every point to JSON on the UI thread on both platforms, and setStrokes built a stroke per point there too. Both now run on a worker thread and answer back on the UI thread, the way the image export already did. The Android export executor is shared, so the document commands queue behind it instead of building a second thread. The iOS brush map grew for the whole session and was never pruned, because clear and undo leave entries that undo itself still needs. Keeping the most recent 1000 bounds the memory while leaving undo intact.

Stale setStrokes result can erase newer user edits.
setStrokes now parses on WORKER and later calls replaceAll(next) on the UI thread. This is a behavior change. The old code replaced the strokes synchronously.
While the worker runs, the user can still draw, erase, undo, or call clear. replaceAll then overwrites those edits without a check. It also records a Replace op whose "before" list comes from the new state. A stroke drawn in that window is lost, and the caller already received no error.
Two setStrokes calls can also overlap with other commands. The single-thread WORKER keeps them in order. The posted results can still interleave with user edits.
Add a guard. For example, keep a documentGeneration counter on the UI thread. Bump it on each user edit and on each setStrokes call. Capture it before WORKER.execute. Apply the result only if it is unchanged. Otherwise call emitError with a clear "document changed" message. Alternatively, accept last-writer-wins and document that behavior.

Preserve command ordering between setStrokes and getStrokes.
getStrokes snapshots _canvas.drawing before it dispatches encoding. setStrokes applies the decoded drawing later on the main queue. If callers issue getStrokes after setStrokes without awaiting the result, getStrokes can serialize the old drawing.
Serialize the complete command sequence, including the main-thread replacement and snapshot. A serial codec queue alone does not fix this race. Awaiting setStrokes remains safe because the success result is emitted after replacement.

Brush eviction can drop metadata for strokes that are still in the drawing.
rememberBrush:forDate: evicts by insertion order. It does not check whether the stroke still exists in the drawing. Suppose a drawing has more than 1,000 strokes. The oldest strokes then lose their brush entry, even though they are still drawn and can be undone. encodeDrawing falls back to ink-derived type, color, input, and size for those strokes. Custom values, such as input "stylus" or a size that differs from estimatedSize, are lost on getStrokes. This behavior matches the PR description, but the getStrokes output for older strokes becomes lossy.
Also, setStrokes registers decoded brushes through enumerateKeysAndObjectsUsingBlock:. That enumeration order is unspecified. If the decoded drawing has more than 1,000 strokes, the retained window is arbitrary rather than the most recent strokes.
Sort the decoded entries by date before registering them.
Proposed fix for the decode ordering (lines 216-218)

- [view rememberBrush:info forDate:created];

hey Aziz, thanks for the PR bro. i went through the 3 CodeRabbit comments and yeah, they're valid.

Thanks for this, Aziz. Both claims held up when I measured them. On a 300-stroke drawing, getStrokes and setStrokes blocked the main thread for 65 ms and 89 ms on the iOS simulator. On the Android emulator it was 160 ms and 434 ms. I carried your commit into #3, where you're still its author and a co-author on the two follow-ups, and added the ordering fixes from the review. Commands now wait in a small main-thread queue while a setStrokes is loading. I didn't route them all through the worker as I suggested in my review, because on Android the export thread can wait there for the background image. I also dropped the brush map cap. An entry is about 116 bytes, while undo history holds roughly 4.8 KB per stroke, so the cap saved little and caused the wrong-brush bug. Closing this in favor of #3. |
What
Two performance fixes in the native views, no public API change.
Document commands run off the UI thread.
getStrokesserialized every point ofevery stroke to JSON inside the command handler, and
setStrokesparsed the document andbuilt an ink stroke per point there too. On a long drawing both are long enough to drop
frames while the canvas is still interactive. The image export already worked off the UI
thread, so this brings the two remaining commands in line:
executor (
EXPORTERrenamed toWORKER, since it is now shared) and post the resultback. Sharing the single thread means document work queues behind an export rather than
a second thread touching ink at the same time.
QOS_CLASS_USER_INITIATEDglobal queue and hop back to themain queue to emit the result. Reading
PKStrokePathoff the main thread matches whatINKImageExporteralready does withimageFromRect:.The iOS brush map no longer grows for the whole session.
INKPadViewkeeps anINKBrushInfoper stroke keyed by the stroke's creation date, becausePKStrokedoes notcarry the brush the user picked. Those entries were never removed:
clear, undo and theeraser all leave them behind. A long session that draws, clears and redraws accumulates one
entry per stroke ever made.
Pruning to the strokes currently in the drawing would break undo, which restores strokes
whose entries would already be gone, so this keeps a bounded window of the most recent
1000 entries instead. Memory is flat, undo keeps working, and a stroke older than the
window falls back to the ink-derived brush that was already the fallback for unknown
strokes.
Verification
yarn lint,yarn typecheck,yarn test(44 tests)xcodebuild -scheme ReactNativeInkpad -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator-> BUILD SUCCEEDED./gradlew :react-native-inkpad:compileDebugKotlin :react-native-inkpad:testDebugUnitTest-> BUILD SUCCESSFULThe e2e run needs a booted simulator or emulator with a release build, so it is left to CI.
Worth a look on the iOS job in particular, since reading PencilKit objects off the main
thread is the one assumption here.
