RN 0.63.1: ActivityIndicator disapearing #29378
Description
Description
With the default usage of <ActivityIndicator />, the indicators are all disappearing. But when I add the color prop, <ActivityIndicator color="red" />, I can then see the indicator again.

Is this for iOS, Android, or both?
ptgamr commentedon Jul 15, 2020
@Ashoat sorry I forgot to mentioned in the description. It's happening only on Android.

Even though it is a different component it feels somewhat related to #29412 It seems that in 0.63.x the way tinting is handled is flaky on Android.
CDBridger commentedon Aug 13, 2020
I'm getting this as well (on android), additionally, when I do specify a colour, the component shows, but it is not animating, it just shows a static icon. I'm running 0.63.2, it worked fine when I was running 0.62.x
EDIT: Turns out the indicator not animating was somehow my android developer options had defaulted to no animation (0x)

I have a similar issue and the last version of RN as well. Some of my images are starting to disappear on android. The png files I use do have colors and show up correctly on ios. The image takes up the space it's supposed to but it isn't visible unless I give it an explicit tint color.

This is also happening on my S20 version 0.63.3
jasperkuperus commentedon Oct 27, 2020
Indeed, same issue on Android 0.63.3. Thanks for the workaround with the
colorprop @ptgamr. That's a lifesaver 😊[native] Always set ActivityIndicator color

Apparently #29830 is the universal PR to fix this but it's been blocked since almost 2 months now.
Is there any way other than adding a color prop to each ActivityIndicator component sitting in my code to solve it before the PR get merged?
niktechnopro commentedon Dec 4, 2020
adding prop fixed the issue for me
fabOnReact commentedon Feb 4, 2021
as explained in #29412 (comment) I believe pr #29830 would fix also #29412 Thanks
cromatikap commentedon Feb 7, 2021
Thank you for your update @fabriziobertoglio1987
Do you have any information regarding my #29378 (comment) ?
