What

Native-side fixes for work the marker and overlay pipeline was doing on every render or every gesture, plus value equality for the camera props on the JS side. No public API changes. Builds on #58, which stabilizes the overlay arrays and callback envelopes on the JS side; this PR covers what that one leaves out.

JS

  • region, camera and mapPadding are value-compared through useStableValue before they reach native (utils/mapValueEquality.ts). These props are usually written inline in JSX; without this, every render re-sent them, and the Google providers answer a new region with a camera move.

Both providers, both platforms

  • Shape overlays are no longer torn down and rebuilt on every update. MapOverlayController.swift (MapKit), GoogleMapOverlayController.swift and MapOverlayController.kt keep a render version per overlay id (ShapeDescriptor+RenderVersion.{swift,kt}). An unchanged descriptor costs one hash; a changed one is updated in place. On MapKit, whose overlay geometry is immutable, a style-only change restyles the cached renderer and a geometry change replaces the overlay at its previous z-position.
  • Viewport refreshes are coalesced and cancellable. The compute queue / executor now holds at most one pending request: a request posted while one is queued replaces it instead of adding another task, so a long gesture cannot build a backlog of stale cluster work. Index builds check a separate dataset generation before starting, and are no longer discarded by the refresh generation, so a burst of gesture refreshes can't keep throwing away the index build for a dataset that has not changed. On Android that was a real gap: a pan during the initial index build dropped the build and nothing rebuilt it until the next markers change.
  • region fits skip when they would not move the camera on iOS Google and Android (MapKit already had a guard): the last applied region and the camera it produced are remembered, and an equal region with an unmoved camera is a no-op.
  • Image caches are bounded by bytes, not entry count. iOS NSCache gets a count and cost limit (256 entries / 32 MB); Android's LruCache sizes entries by decoded bytes with a budget of maxMemory / 16 clamped to 1–32 MB.

iOS only

  • O(k²) clustering bug fixed. MarkerClusterEngine.clusters copied each bucket out of the dictionary, appended, and wrote it back, so memberIds was never uniquely referenced and every append copied the whole array. Buckets are now mutated in place through subscript(_:default:).
  • NitroPinAnnotationView.configure no longer calls layoutIfNeeded() for every pin entering the viewport inside MapKit's viewFor callback.

Not included (needs measurement first)

The MapKit visible-marker cap (2,000 MKMarkerAnnotationViews at street zoom) is left as is. Lowering it is the right call for 120 Hz, but the number should come from the frame-time harness in #66, not a guess.

Testing

  • bun run lint, bun run typecheck, bun run typecheck:provider-types: clean.
  • cd package && bun test: 156 pass, 0 fail across 8 files (adds mapValueEquality.test.ts, one mutation case per field of Region, Camera and EdgePadding).
  • Android: expo prebuild -p android then ./gradlew :react-native-better-maps:compileDebugKotlin :react-native-better-maps:testDebugUnitTest: BUILD SUCCESSFUL, no Kotlin warnings in the changed files, 16 unit tests pass (adds ShapeRenderVersionTest, one case per field of every shape descriptor plus the region tolerance).
  • iOS: pod install with betterMaps.iosGoogleProvider=true so the Google adapter files are compiled, then xcodebuild -scheme react-native-better-maps -sdk iphonesimulator: BUILD SUCCEEDED, 0 errors, no new warnings in package/ios (the two remaining ones are the pre-existing GMSMapView initializer deprecations).
  • Not measured: frame times or CPU. These are structural fixes (fewer SDK calls, fewer copies, bounded queues); the numbers come from the harness in feat(example): add a frame-time benchmark harness #66.

Also in this PR

pod install fails on main with Ruby 4.0.6 + CocoaPods 1.17.0: the podspec's Podfile.properties helpers are top-level defs, and CocoaPods evaluates the podspec with eval, so inside the Pod::Spec.new block the call raises undefined method 'better_maps_ios_google_provider_enabled?' for module Pod. A separate commit rewrites them as local lambdas, which works on every Ruby; behavior is unchanged. This was needed to verify the iOS changes and is worth landing on its own if this PR is split.

Reuse spatialIndex when reapply does not change the dataset.

setClusteringEnabled changes only the clustering mode and does not clear spatialIndex, but reapply still scans all markers and reallocates the grid through MarkerSpatialIndex(markers:). This adds an unnecessary O(n) rebuild whenever clustering is toggled. setMarkers and reset already clear the index, so the existing generation model makes this reuse safe.

Marshal applyRegion to the main thread. HybridMapView.region assigns directly to GoogleMapProviderAdapter.region. That setter calls applyRegion, and runWhenViewLaidOut invokes fitCamera without runOnMain. fitCamera accesses map.cameraPosition, calls moveCamera, and reads or writes the new plain cache fields. If a region setter runs off the UI thread, this path can violate the Google Maps UI-thread contract and race on lastAppliedRegion or lastAppliedRegionCamera.

One root cause: the new "version + apply in place" pair covers fewer descriptor fields than the creation path. Creation uses holes and zIndex; neither the render-version functions nor the applyTo functions do. Every field missing from both sets is now permanently unrenderable after the first paint. This is the classic way a caching optimization turns into a data-freshness bug.

Invalidate the region-fit cache when mapPadding changes. Both adapters cache only region and camera, although the fit also uses padding. When a padding change leaves the current camera unchanged, a same-region assignment can return early and keep a camera fitted with the old padding. Clear both cache fields in each mapPadding setter, or cache the effective fit padding and compare it as well.

Base automatically changed from fix/overlay-reserialization-on-rerender to main September 12, 2026 13:31
…tic clustering

Native-side fixes for work the marker and overlay pipeline was doing on every
render or every gesture, plus value equality for the camera props on the JS
side. Builds on #58, which stabilizes the overlay arrays and callback
envelopes.

- Value-compare region, camera and mapPadding before they reach native, so an
  inline object literal no longer re-sends the prop (and, on the Google
  providers, no longer moves the camera) on every render.
- Keep a render version per shape overlay on MapKit, Google iOS and Android:
  an unchanged polyline, polygon or circle is skipped and a changed one is
  updated in place instead of removed and re-added. MapKit replaces the
  overlay at its previous z-position only when the geometry changed.
- Coalesce viewport refreshes to one pending request per compute queue and
  check a separate dataset generation before building the spatial index, so a
  long gesture cannot build a backlog of stale cluster work or keep discarding
  the index build for a dataset that has not changed.
- Skip region fits that would not move the camera on Google iOS and Android.
- Bound the marker image caches by decoded bytes (iOS NSCache limits, Android
  LruCache sizeOf).
- iOS: accumulate cluster buckets in place through the dictionary subscript;
  the copy-out, append, write-back pattern copied the member array on every
  append, O(k^2) per cell.
- iOS: drop the forced layoutIfNeeded() per pin configure inside MapKit's
  viewFor callback.
…defs

CocoaPods evaluates a podspec with eval, and on Ruby 4.0.6 + CocoaPods 1.17.0
a method defined that way is not visible inside the Pod::Spec.new block, so
pod install fails with "undefined method 'better_maps_ios_google_provider_enabled?'
for module Pod". Hold the helpers in local lambdas instead; behavior is unchanged.
