Summary: ## The Problem 1. `CatalystInstanceImpl` indirectly holds on to the `jsi::Runtime`. When you destroy `CatalystInstanceImpl`, you destroy the `jsi::Runtime`. As a part of reloading React Native, we destroy and re-create `CatalystInstanceImpl`, which destroys and re-creates the `jsi::Runtime`. 2. When JS passes in a callback to a TurboModule method, we take that callback (a `jsi::Function`) and wrap it in a Java `Callback` (implemented by `JCxxCallbackImpl`). This Java `Callback`, when executed, schedules the `jsi::Function` to be invoked on a Java thread at a later point in time. **Note:** The Java NativeModule can hold on to the Java `Callback` (and, by transitivity, the `jsi::Function`) for potentially forever. 3. It is a requirement of `jsi::Runtime` that all objects associated with the Runtime (ex: `jsi::Function`) must be destroyed before the Runtime itself is destroyed. See: https://fburl.com/m3mqk6wt ### jsi.h ``` /// .................................................... In addition, to /// make shutdown safe, destruction of objects associated with the Runtime /// must be destroyed before the Runtime is destroyed, or from the /// destructor of a managed HostObject or HostFunction. Informally, this /// means that the main source of unsafe behavior is to hold a jsi object /// in a non-Runtime-managed object, and not clean it up before the Runtime /// is shut down. If your lifecycle is such that avoiding this is hard, /// you will probably need to do use your own locks. class Runtime { public: virtual ~Runtime(); ``` Therefore, when you delete `CatalystInstanceImpl`, you could end up with a situation where the `jsi::Runtime` is destroyed before all `jsi::Function`s are destroyed. In dev, this leads the program to crash when you reload the app after having used a TurboModule method that uses callbacks. ## The Solution If the only reference to a `HostObject` or a `HostFunction` is in the JS Heap, then the `HostObject` and `HostFunction` destructors can destroy JSI objects. The TurboModule cache is the only thing, aside from the JS Heap, that holds a reference to all C++ TurboModules. But that cache (and the entire native side of `TurboModuleManager`) is destroyed when we call `mHybridData.resetNative()` in `TurboModuleManager.onCatalystInstanceDestroy()` in D16552730. (I verified this by commenting out `mHybridData.resetNative()` and placing a breakpoint in the destructor of `JavaTurboModule`). So, when we're cleaning up `TurboModuleManager`, the only reference to a Java TurboModule is the JS Heap. Therefore, it's safe and correct for us to destroy all `jsi::Function`s created by the Java TurboModule in `~JavaTurboModule`. So, in this diff, I keep a set of all `CallbackWrappers`, and explicitly call `destroy()` on them in the `JavaTurboModule` destructor. Note that since `~JavaTurboModule` accesses `callbackWrappers_`, it must be executed on the JS Thread, since `createJavaCallbackFromJSIFunction` also accesses `callbackWrappers_` on the JS Thread. For additional safety, I also eagerly destroyed the `jsi::Function` after it's been invoked once. I'm not yet sure if we only want JS callbacks to only ever be invoked once. So, I've created a Task to document this work: T48128233. Reviewed By: mdvacca Differential Revision: D16623340 fbshipit-source-id: 3a4c3efc70b9b3c8d329f19fdf4b4423c489695b
React Native
Learn once, write anywhere:
Build mobile apps with React.

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 own 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 9.0 and Android 4.1 (API 16) 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.
