TabsScreens are not Android children of TabsHost (they live in its container), and TabsHostViewManager did not override getChildCount / getChildAt. Fabric's SurfaceMountingManager.removeViewAt verifies the child via getChildAt before removing it; it never found the tab, treated it as already removed and skipped removeViewAt. Tabs removed from JS stayed in the native model and menu, so re-adding them crashed once the menu passed BottomNavigationView's 6-item limit. Override getChildCount / getChildAt to return the rendered TabsScreens, like ScreenContainerViewManager and ScreenStackViewManager already do. Add the test-tabs-conditional-tabs single feature test.
…later When the set of TabsScreens changes at runtime, TabsContainer breaks in two ways: - Removing the selected tab crashes with "[RNScreens] No selected tab present". Rebuilding the menu already moves the BottomNavigationView selection, so the follow-up request for another tab is rejected as repeated and navState keeps pointing at the removed tab. The `selectedTab` getter then throws (in the selection path and in the appearance update). - A tab added after the first selection shows no content. Fragments are added to the FragmentManager only in applyInitialStateToFragmentManagerSync, so `attach` alone does nothing for a tab added later. Read the previously selected fragment with the nullable getFragmentForScreenKey, still run the selection when the selected tab is gone, remove fragments that are no longer in the model, and `add` (instead of `attach`) fragments that have never been added. Add the test-tabs-swap-tabs single feature test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Around line 624-645: Track the TabsScreenFragment instances owned by this
TabsContainer and use that ownership when filtering fragments in the cleanup
before `currSelectedFragment` is detached. Remove only owned fragments absent
from `tabsModel`, leaving fragments belonging to other TabsHost instances in the
shared FragmentManager untouched.

The FragmentManager is resolved per parent fragment (or ReactRootView), so it can be shared by several TabsHosts. Removing every TabsScreenFragment that isn't in this container's tabsModel could remove another host's tabs. Only remove fragments added to this container's content view.

Remove obsolete detached tab fragments.
If an inactive tab leaves tabsModel, its fragment is detached. FragmentManager.fragments excludes detached fragments, so this filter cannot remove it. Repeated tab replacements can retain obsolete fragments and their TabsScreen references. Track this container’s fragments independently of FragmentManager.fragments, then remove fragments that leave tabsModel while preserving the content-view ownership check. (developer.android.com)

Hi, thanks for the PR. Support for adding/removing/reordering tabs in runtime is planned but as this impacts core library code, we're planning to handle the feature ourselves (for maintainers: ticket on internal issue tracker is https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-screens-labs/issues/1071). I'll close the PR for now. If you have any further questions, let us know. |

Description
Note
This PR builds on #4812 (its commit is included here). Without #4812, tabs removed from JS are never removed natively, so the crash below can't happen on
main. Only the last commit,fix(Android, Tabs): handle removing the selected tab and adding tabs later, belongs to this PR.In our app, the set of tabs depends on the selected home: one tab is a different route in different homes. Switching homes removes one
TabsScreenand adds another, often while the removed one is selected:On Android (react-native-screens 4.27.0, and
main+ #4812), this breaks in two ways:Removing the selected tab crashes the app:
With only the selection path fixed, it crashes in the next access instead (
performPostSelectedTabUpdateActions→TabsAppearanceCoordinator.updateTabAppearance→getSelectedTab).A tab added after the first selection shows no content: only the tab bar is drawn. The same happens in fix(Android, Tabs): remove TabsScreen natively when it's removed from JS #4812's
test-tabs-conditional-tabs: after hiding and showing the extra tabs, selecting Tab4 shows an empty screen.Root cause (
TabsContainer)updateNavigationMenuStructure) already moves theBottomNavigationViewselection to another item. The follow-upnavStateRequestfor that item is then rejected asREPEATEDinperformSelectedTabUpdate, sonavStatekeeps pointing at the removed tab. Every later read ofselectedTabthrows, because the getter usescheckNotNull.FragmentManageronly once, inapplyInitialStateToFragmentManagerSync. After that,applyNextSelectedFragmentToFragmentManagerSynconlydetaches /attaches. A tab added later has never been added, soattachdoes nothing.Changes
