   Encountered on an Expo Prebuild (aka bare/ejected) app when navigating away from a stack screen with the webview, as rendered by react-native-autoheight-webview (1.6.5) right after turning on the new architecture to test that in the app.

   Can provide a minimal repro if wanted.

   For me, it is IOS only when the new arch is turned on
   I have
   react-native: 0.73.2
   react-native-webview: 13.6.4
   react-native-screens: 3.29.0
   @react-navigation/native: 6.1.9
   @react-navigation/native-stack: 6.9.17

   So, the crash happens when I navigate away from WebView screen, it can be either navigation.goBack(), or just using the swipe to the right gesture on IOS.
   FYI, I was able to fix it by downgrading the react-native-webview to 13.6.3 BUT in that case pod install(with new arch) were failing and I had to add the following command to my profile post-install script:

       installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
         if target.name === "react-native-webview"
           append_header_search_path(target, "${PODS_ROOT}/Headers/Private/Yoga")
         end
       end
   

   and define this append_header_search_path function globally on the top of podfile

   def append_header_search_path(target, path)
     target.build_configurations.each do |config|
         # Note that there's a space character after `$(inherited)`.
         config.build_settings["HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS"] ||= "$(inherited) "
         config.build_settings["HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS"] << path
     end
   end
   

   and that's it. it fixes this crash for me.

   Same problem for me - when you navigate to a previous screen it crashes. Happens only on iOS with new architecture enabled.

   My stack is: @react-navigation/native: 6.1.7 @react-navigation/native-stack: 6.9.13 react-native-in-app-review: "4.3.3 react-native-screens: 3.29.0 react-native-webview: 13.7.0

   Unfortunately I couldn't get 13.6.3 to install with the above fix.

   what is the RN version you have? and did you get the error during pod install or the build phase?

   All, facing similar issue
   tried above pod file changes but it still app crashes.
   Do we have any alternate approach here? Please suggest. It works good in simulator but fails badly in both iPhone/iPad.

   I'm getting this issue. In my simulator works fine, but in testflight version the application breaks when the component is unmounting. The new arch is enabled

   Hi there! I'm Riccardo, from the React Native core team.

   Thank you so much for raising this issue. The problem should not be addressed in WebView as this issue revealed a broader problem in React Native Core.
   We are going to fix it there with this pr.
   Main is already fixed.

    unfortunately, this fix has not yet been ported to the 0.72 yet 😢

    My bad... I forgot to request the pick for 0.72. :(

    I created a PR react/react-native#43240 against 0.72, hopefully still in time to be merged before the release...
