PlatformColor and DynamicColorIOS payloads are objects, but CSSColor accepts only numbers and bools, so a color property carrying one killed the app with No compatible type found for construction.

They now parse into CSSPlatformColor, which keeps the payload and hands it back from toDynamic() for React Native to resolve against the surface's theme, exactly as for a static style.

Resolving one in C++ needs the animated view, which is not implemented here, so a platform color reports that it cannot interpolate and the variant switches over instead. Nothing throws.

It is also the first value type that resolves without being relative to a view property, so ResolvableValueInterpolator and its config become Relative* to match what they carry.

Testing

iOS and Android build, jest and static checks pass. On the simulator: plain color ramps unchanged, static PlatformColor renders, and both platform-to-platform and platform-to-plain switch over with the app alive.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for platform and dynamic colors across backgrounds, borders, shadows, text, outlines, overlays, tints, and decorations.
    • Platform colors remain available for native theme and resource resolution.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed crashes in CSS animations and transitions using platform or dynamic colors.
    • Improved recognition and fallback behavior when interpolating platform colors with standard colors.
    • Added clearer handling for unsupported direct interpolation of unresolved platform colors.

Walkthrough

The PR adds CSSPlatformColor support for platform-color payloads. It validates and stores unresolved payloads, integrates them with CSS interpolation, renames resolvable interpolation types to relative-value types, and adds platform-color fallbacks to multiple style color interpolators.

Changes

Platform Color Support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform color value and payload detection
packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/CSS/utils/platformColor.*, packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/CSS/common/values/CSSPlatformColor.*
Detects valid platform-color payloads from Folly dynamic and JSI values. CSSPlatformColor stores, serializes, compares, and uses threshold-based fallback interpolation for unresolved payloads.
Relative interpolation integration
packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/CSS/interpolation/..., packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/CSS/common/values/CSSValue.h, packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/CSS/common/values/CSSValueVariant.cpp
Renames resolvable interpolation configuration and factory types to relative-value types. Adds exact context matching through ResolvesWith. Registers CSSPlatformColor with CSSColor and the simple interpolator.
Style color interpolator wiring
packages/react-native-reanimated/Common/cpp/reanimated/CSS/InterpolatorRegistry.cpp, packages/react-native-reanimated/CHANGELOG.md
Adds platform-color support to shadow, background, border, outline, text, decoration, overlay, and tint color interpolators. Documents the related crash fix.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6da29

The PR adds platform-color animation support, but mixed platform-color and CSS-color animations still silently fall back instead of reporting the required unsupported-animation error. This can hide an invalid animation contract, so merge should wait for correction or explicit owner acceptance.

PlatformColor and DynamicColorIOS payloads reached CSSColor, which accepts
only numbers and bools, so the variant found no matching type and threw.

They now parse into CSSPlatformColor, which keeps the payload and hands it
back to RN from toDynamic() - static platform colors render as before.
Interpolating one still throws, with a message saying so; resolving a payload
against the animated view comes next.
