What

Closes the performance roadmap: an opt-in camera stream, a Reanimated binding for overlays that follow the map, and a measured decision on the shared C++ core.

Camera stream

  • onCameraMove?: (camera: Camera) => void and cameraMoveThrottleMs?: number (default 100 ms) on MapView. While the camera moves the adapter emits the camera at most once per throttle interval, and once more when it stops.
  • MapKit samples MKMapView.camera on a display link that runs only between regionWillChange and regionDidChange. Google Maps (iOS and Android) already reports every frame; the adapters throttle and emit the final camera at idleAt / onCameraIdle.
  • Nothing runs unless the callback is set. The idle map stays at zero work, and the default map stays out of the per-frame JS path.

Reanimated binding

  • New entry point react-native-better-maps/reanimated with useCameraSharedValue(). It returns a shared value plus a stable onCameraMove handler that writes into it, so overlays read the camera in useAnimatedStyle and follow the map on the UI thread without a React render per update.
  • react-native-reanimated is an optional peer dependency (>=3.0.0). The main entry point does not import it.
  • The example app grows a compass that rotates with the map heading through the binding.

Shared C++ core

Not built, and ADR 0007 records why with data. The audit made it conditional on profiling showing Swift or Kotlin compute as the limiter after the frame-budgeted pipeline. Signposts from the 100k clustered scenario on the iPhone simulator put the whole compute side (index query, clustering, diff) on the background queue at a p95 of 6.5 ms and a maximum of 10 ms, and the main-thread apply at a maximum of 3.6 ms. The scenario that still drops frames (N, 10k markers in one city viewport) spends up to 15 ms on the main thread inside MapKit's annotation-view layout while its compute stays under 3.1 ms. On the Android emulator the 100k scenario holds a 17 ms p99. A C++ core would speed up the part that is already off the main thread and under a frame, so the two native implementations stay, sharing the packed batch format and the test fixtures.

Benchmarks

Two scenarios join the harness: O-camera-stream (10k markers, pan with onCameraMove at a 16 ms throttle, JS lag checked) and P-clustered-100k (100k clustered markers, zoom sweep and pan over Poland). Results and the signpost data behind the C++ decision are in docs/benchmarks.md and ADR 0007.

iOS (iPhone 17 Pro simulator, Release, MapKit, started by hand): O passes with a one-frame p99 and a JS-lag p95 of 1.0 ms while the callback ran 266 times during the pan; P holds one frame at p95 and two at p99 with a 46 ms worst frame and 1.5 % jank. Android (API 35 emulator, Release, Google Maps, Maestro): every scenario at a 17 ms p99, P at a 33 ms worst frame, O at 17 ms with 211 camera callbacks during the pan.

Verification

  • bun run typecheck, bun run lint, package tests (173) and example tests pass.
  • Android: compileDebugKotlin clean, 41 unit tests pass.
  • iOS: Release benchmark build on the iPhone simulator; runs started by hand (see the Maestro caveat in docs/benchmarks.md).
  • Android: Release build on the API 35 emulator, driven by the Maestro flow.
  • Demo app: compass follows a two-finger rotation on the simulator.

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR adds opt-in, throttled onCameraMove callbacks with final movement updates across Apple Maps and Google Maps. It adds the optional Reanimated useCameraSharedValue integration, example compass tracking, benchmark scenarios, and supporting documentation.

Camera movement API and native delivery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Camera callback contract and wiring
package/src/types/map.ts, package/src/native/specs/MapView.nitro.ts, package/src/components/MapView.tsx, package/ios/..., package/android/...
Map props and native adapters now accept onCameraMove and cameraMoveThrottleMs.
Native camera stream lifecycle
package/ios/*MapProviderAdapter.swift, package/android/src/main/java/com/margelo/nitro/nitromaps/GoogleMapProviderAdapter.kt
Adapters emit throttled movement updates and one final camera position when movement stops.
Reanimated camera binding
package/src/reanimated/*, package/package.json
The package exports useCameraSharedValue, adds its binding test, and declares Reanimated as an optional peer dependency.
Camera examples and benchmarks
example/App.tsx, example/benchmark/*, example/maestro/*
The example renders a camera-heading compass. Benchmarks add camera-stream and clustered-marker scenarios.
Camera stream documentation
README.md, docs/*, CHANGELOG.md
Documentation covers callback behavior, platform delivery, Reanimated usage, ADR decisions, and benchmark results.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Schedule the opt-in camera-stream and Reanimated API because it changes public MapView behavior across iOS and Android and adds a new optional package entry point.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Align the JS-lag diagnostics with the documented threshold.

At 60 Hz, budget = 1000 / 60 = 16.67 ms. These diagnostics compare JS lag with 17.50 ms, which is budget + 5%. The threshold table grants that tolerance only to frame p50/p95; it sets JS-lag p95 to budget. Report 16.67 ms here, or update the threshold documentation and implementation to define the 5% tolerance for JS lag.

Use the actual scenario count.

SCENARIOS contains 15 entries after scenarios O and P are appended. A successful run displays 15/15 passed, so this wait condition times out after 300 seconds.

Change the pattern to '.*/15 passed', or add the missing sixteenth scenario.

Add `onCameraMove` and `cameraMoveThrottleMs` to MapView. While the camera
moves the adapter emits the camera at most once per throttle interval
(default 100 ms) and once more when it stops. MapKit samples the camera on a
display link that runs only during the move; the Google SDKs report every
frame and the adapters throttle. Nothing runs unless the callback is set.

Add the `react-native-better-maps/reanimated` entry point with
`useCameraSharedValue`, which feeds the stream into a shared value so
overlays follow the camera on the UI thread without a render per update.
`react-native-reanimated` becomes an optional peer dependency.
The example app grows a compass that follows the map heading through
`useCameraSharedValue`. The benchmark harness adds O (pan with the camera
stream feeding a shared value every frame) and P (100,000 clustered markers),
and routes free-form notes through the native log line so they survive
release builds.

ADR 0007 records the camera stream, the Reanimated binding and the decision
not to build the shared C++ core, with the signpost data behind it. The
benchmark results for both scenarios on the simulator and the emulator go
into docs/benchmarks.md; README, architecture and changelog cover the API.
