Sorry, but this issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. BTW Thank you for your contributions 😀 !!!

Can you cause this plugin to use react-native-android-recyclerview? Beats flatlist and recyclerlistview on android any day. Chats on androids take a noticeable hit when the text bubbles are long / when there are over like 10 one-lined messages. None of the fixes recommended in the other issues worked (like ScaleY).

Add shouldRasterizeIOS and renderToHardwareTextureAndroid
<View shouldRasterizeIOS renderToHardwareTextureAndroid> <Bubble {...props}/> </View>

It became an issue for Android 12 & 13 versions on RN 0.70, specifically for inverted lists.

This comment contains a fix you can apply to React Native VirtualizedList directly. Just use patch-package to create a patch file with the changes needed.
