Touchable and Pressable: slow UI feedback on Expo SDK 39

Expo SDK
4

Hi

Sorry, I misremembered about Expo diagnostics telling you which version of react native the SDK was based on.

But as far as I know the bugfix release was indeed supposed to fix your issue.

The fix for this in React Native is mentioned here:

Changed

The SDK 39 bugfix release notes say:

react-native:

  • Fixed regression in Blob support. (issue)
  • TouchableOpacity press-in delay removed. (issue)
  • Fix Xiaomi TextInput native crash. (issue)

In both the React Native and the Expo SDK 39 bugfix release notes there is mention of removing a delay for TouchableOpacity.

I tried your Snacks and I think the problem is that in SDK 39 it seems that an onPress prop is needed for it to show the effect. If I add an onPress then it seems to work as expected. Does that fix it for you?

Also, please make sure you’re running the latest client (Expo app) on your device(s).
