Proposed changes

Fixes the Rendered fewer hooks than expected crash on NewServerView. This was introduced by #7432, which wrapped NewServerView with defaultHeader for the first time. native-stack invokes options.header as a plain function inside SceneView's render, so Header's hooks were registered on SceneView. NewServerView then hides the header with setOptions({ headerShown: false }) after mount, so the second render ran fewer hooks and React threw.

Issue(s)

https://rocketchat.atlassian.net/browse/NATIVE-1527

How to test or reproduce

  • Fresh install / log out to land on NewServerView (no previous server).
  • App renders the Connect to server screen with no redbox or crash.

Screenshots

No visual change expected.

Types of changes

  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

  • Documentation update (if none of the other choices apply)

Checklist

  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING doc
  • I have signed the CLA
  • Lint and unit tests pass locally with my changes
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works (if applicable)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved compatibility and rendering behavior for the default navigation header.
    • Ensured the header correctly receives navigation properties when rendered.

…rence

Wrapping Header in an element keeps its hooks on its own fiber.
Passing the component directly let native-stack invoke it as a plain
function, which crashed NewServerView with 'Rendered fewer hooks than
expected' once #7432 gave it defaultHeader and it toggled headerShown.

Walkthrough

The default navigation header now uses a typed render function that creates the Header element with its received NativeStackHeaderProps.

Changes

Default Header Rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Create the typed default header element
app/lib/methods/helpers/navigation/index.ts
The navigation helper imports the required React and native-stack types. defaultHeader.header now calls createElement(Header, props) and returns a ReactElement.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 886cb

The default navigation header now renders Header as an element with native-stack props, preventing the Android hook-order crash without changing the intended header UI. The change is ready to merge.

Add explicit types to the custom native-stack header callback.

Use NativeStackHeaderProps for props and ReactElement for the return type. Header already uses the same native-stack props contract.
