App crashes on with RevenueCat Paywalls and blur views

Using RC’s V2 paywalls, my app is crashing every time I open the paywall in my React Native Android app with the exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Software rendering doesn't support hardware bitmaps

This is continuing the conversation on a past issue, as it was never really solved but @db888 found out that if he removed `expo-blur` the issue goes away. I’m encountering the same problem now but we have a requirement for blur views in the design so it’s not as simple as just removing this.

Is there any plans to getting an actual fix out for this in Paywalls? I believe this is a hint at a potential solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58315279 

Edit: I’m using `@sbaiahmed1/react-native-blur` and not `expo-blur`. It seems to not be an issue with `expo-blur`. Maybe they changed the library or something, I don’t think they use native blur views on Android.

Hey ​@Calvin Cheng

Thank you for reporting! 

To provide additional information to the Engineering team, could you please share the following:

  • Full deobfuscated Stack Trace of the crash
  • Devices where you see this crash happening
  • Are you using a Blur View on the same screen that presents the Paywall?
    • If you don’t mind sharing code snippets of your current implementation, that would be great!

Thank you!
