Summary: Recent change in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/31865 made it so if `ReactSliderManager` is created on the react context creation thread it will crash with the following error. This happens because `ReactAccessibilityDelegate` tries to create a handler on a thread without a looper. This seems to happen because react-native-reanimated tries to get the UIManager module during its initialization which will cause view managers to be created and explains why the crash probably does not happens in RNTester or using only RN bundled modules. ``` 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: create_react_context 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: Process: com.th3rdwave, PID: 21206 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.shell.MainReactPackage.createViewManagers(MainReactPackage.java:166) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager.getOrCreateViewManagers(ReactInstanceManager.java:882) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.CoreModulesPackage.createUIManager(CoreModulesPackage.java:137) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.CoreModulesPackage.getModule(CoreModulesPackage.java:102) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.TurboReactPackage$ModuleHolderProvider.get(TurboReactPackage.java:159) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.TurboReactPackage$ModuleHolderProvider.get(TurboReactPackage.java:147) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.bridge.ModuleHolder.create(ModuleHolder.java:191) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.bridge.ModuleHolder.getModule(ModuleHolder.java:156) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.bridge.NativeModuleRegistry.getModule(NativeModuleRegistry.java:153) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.bridge.CatalystInstanceImpl.getNativeModule(CatalystInstanceImpl.java:486) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.bridge.CatalystInstanceImpl.getNativeModule(CatalystInstanceImpl.java:462) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactContext.getNativeModule(ReactContext.java:176) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.swmansion.reanimated.NodesManager.<init>(NodesManager.java:153) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.swmansion.reanimated.ReanimatedModule.getNodesManager(ReanimatedModule.java:101) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.swmansion.reanimated.ReanimatedJSIModulePackage.getJSIModules(ReanimatedJSIModulePackage.java:17) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.th3rdwave.MainApplication$1$1.getJSIModules(MainApplication.java:135) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager.createReactContext(ReactInstanceManager.java:1329) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager.access$1100(ReactInstanceManager.java:136) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager$5.run(ReactInstanceManager.java:1058) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:923) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread Thread[create_react_context,5,main] that has not called Looper.prepare() 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at android.os.Handler.<init>(Handler.java:227) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at android.os.Handler.<init>(Handler.java:129) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.uimanager.ReactAccessibilityDelegate$1.<init>(ReactAccessibilityDelegate.java:185) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.uimanager.ReactAccessibilityDelegate.<init>(ReactAccessibilityDelegate.java:184) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.views.slider.ReactSliderManager$ReactSliderAccessibilityDelegate.<init>(ReactSliderManager.java:281) 08-03 14:44:56.318 21206 21360 E AndroidRuntime: at com.facebook.react.views.slider.ReactSliderManager.<clinit>(ReactSliderManager.java:301) ``` To fix it I changed the delegate creation to be done in `createViewInstance` which will be called on main thread. This is also more in line with how other accessibility delegates are created for other view managers. Since Slider is probably not used a lot, creating more delegate instance won't be an issue. Another alternative could be to initialize a Looper on the thread that creates the react context, but it seems more involved and probably not needed. ## Changelog [Android] [Fixed] - Create slider accessibility delegate in createViewInstance Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/31942 Test Plan: Reproduced the crash in an app and made sure this patch fixes it.

React Native
Learn once, write anywhere:
Build mobile apps with React.
Getting Started · Learn the Basics · Showcase · Contribute · Community · Support
React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.
- Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
- Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
- Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
- Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.
React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

📋 Requirements
React Native apps may target iOS 11.0 and Android 5.0 (API 21) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.
🎉 Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
📖 Documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.
The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, @facebook/react-native-website.
🚀 Upgrading
Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools, and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.
React Native releases are discussed in the React Native Community, @react-native-community/react-native-releases.
