How to prevent Static Images in React Native from stuttering / loading asynchronously on iOS


Images are loaded differently when building for production and for development. During development the images will be served over HTTP from the packager server, whereas in production they will be bundled with the app. Try doing a production build on device to see if it's actually a problem or just a development mode side effect.


Noted here https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/images.html#off-thread-decoding I guess the assumption is that your UI won't involve too many images as backgrounds. Open up an issue for this usecase.
