I meant both Animated APIs - neither is able to perform synchronous layouts - because react native is not able to do that. That’s the issue that’s stopping the page sheet controllers being added to react native. I actually was helping getting this added, but we never managed to get the layout issues fixed - https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/34834

The measure function you mention isn’t co-ordinated to the layout, so you could read it while a layout is pending and get old data - but that doesn't really matter for most cases

In that case I would stand corrected.

May I ask, does the New Architecture and Fabric not solve this problem?

They keep saying you can do it - but I can’t actually see how. I don’t do a whole lot with the new architecture at the moment - it’s still very new and a very bumpy ride if you want to adopt it
