Crash on Android 16.0 Emulator When Running react-native-webgpu Examples #218
Description
Crash on Android 16.0 Emulator When Running react-native-webgpu Examples on macOS M4 Pro
When running the react-native-webgpu examples on a MacBook Pro M4 (arm64) targeting an Android 16.0 emulator, the app launches successfully but immediately crashes as soon as any example is selected. The crash appears to originate in the Vulkan layer of the Dawn WebGPU implementation. On Android 15.0 it works.
🛠️ Environment
- react-native-webgpu version: latest (from GitHub at time of writing)
- react-native version: 0.74.2
- Hermes: enabled
- OS: macOS 15.4.1 (MacBook Pro M4, arm64)
- Android emulator: Pixel 9, API Level 36 (Android 16.0)
💥 Crash Description
The app crashes with a segmentation fault inside vk_common_SetDebugUtilsObjectNameEXT, indicating a null pointer dereference in the Vulkan debug utils extension handler.
