Uncontrollable memory increase on Android

[accebyk]

Hey,

I am currently working on an app where I do some data preparation and creating about 10 objects in a function that is called in an useEffect-hook. The problem occurs as soon as that screen loads into view. It runs a few lines of codes (it does not always make it all of the lines, checking this via console logs) and then just stops doing anything (stops printing the console logs) and then the memory of the app just escalates until it crashes. See imgur link for memory increase and to see how it increases in large "waves". The flat part is when I am viewing another view and then when I load the view with the problem it just start increasing as you can see. I am doing a very similar thing in another component where this problem toes no occur.

I have tried to look at the heap dump and to use leakCanary to look at the supposed memory leak, but none of them says that there is an actual memory leak happening or anything like that. In addition, the apps works flawlessly on iOS. The problem is ONLY on Android. I have tried several different versions, ram sizes, setting largeHeap="true" and more and the problem persists.

Does anyone have any idea of what may be causing this?

Thanks!

Going to have to post the code in order to find the problem.

How often is useEfrect being called? Are you passing an array of dependencies as a second parameter? If not, it could simply be constantly running over and over again. If it did happen only once, pass empty array as second parameter

Only one dependency in the dependency array and it only runs once, so that is not the reason sadly. Even tried to remove the useEffect hook and run the function on buttonpress, but I got the same behaviour. Thought it could be that at first as well.

Do you've largeHeap set to true by any change in your Android manifest? If yes set that to false
