React Native V0.71.0 Shadow Warnings

[stakez]

Current behaviour

Since upgrading to React Native 0.71.0, the following warning has been occurring
WARN (ADVICE) View #1853 of type RCTView has a shadow set but cannot calculate shadow efficiently. Consider setting a background color to fix this, or apply the shadow to a more specific component.

After removing several React Native paper Components (especially Surface), the warnings dropped. After reverting to original, the warnings all return.

Expected behaviour

No warning should be shown.

How to reproduce?

Run a React Native App using V0.71.0 and view the terminal running react-native start

Preview

Your Environment

As you noticed the issue comes form the Surface component where we are applying the elevation, but the views don't have a specified background color, that's why the warning appears. I will definitely check what we can do about it.

Thanks @lukewalczak. Looking toward to what you find.

Having the same issue after a recent update. Is it open to PR ?

Is it open to PR ?

Sure, contributions are welcomed!

This is happening with the Portal and Dialog components as well.

Adding on to what @visoft mentioned: this is also happening with the FAB component as well. Basically anything that has a shadow built in it seems like.

[lukewalczak]

We are aware of that issue and there is a PR which should fix the warning.

Version 5.5.0 has been released and the issue should be fixed :)
