I have looked at the tickets about these animations and how if they change rapidly can cause issues on ios devices.
https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-13678
https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-16115
I am having these issues but I am also using the Alloy data binding and I don't know how to turn off the animations in order to avoid the crashes.
if ALOY-639 was in place I could fix it, by making my own binding function
https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/ALOY-639
also I see no way to set this in the xml, any ideas?
