`RNGestureHandlerButton` keeps its underlay `CALayer` at sublayer index 0, and `-[UIView insertSubview:atIndex:]` counts every sublayer. A child mounted into a button after the first render was therefore inserted one position too low, below the sibling it should cover. With view flattening that hides swapped content (e.g. a label replaced by an `ActivityIndicator`) behind a background-only View. Insert relative to the sibling subview instead, which ignores the underlay. Adds a "Button child order" test screen and an Argent flow that compares its opacity row against screenshot baselines.

Explanation
The iOS
RNGestureHandlerButtonComponentViewnow checks that the child is unmounted and inserts it below the existing sibling subview or appends it. This avoids the_underlayLayerindex offset and preserves child order. The shared native view covers the linked button variants, including animated and remounted children. The new example coversBaseButton,RectButton,Touchable, andViewwith label/spinner and opacity changes. The iOS Argent flow captures both remount states. The macOS implementation remains unchanged.

What changed in this PR
Fixes iOS button child ordering so dynamically mounted content stays visible above background siblings, addressing #4602 while leaving macOS unchanged.
Changes:
- Inserts children relative to sibling views, avoiding underlay-layer index offsets.
- Adds a comparison example and an Argent screenshot regression flow.

The Android e2e job runs every flow too, and there are no Android baselines,
so the snapshot step failed with "no baseline". The bug is iOS-only, so gate
the two snapshots with `when: { platform: ios }`, like the Android-only steps
in native-intercept-cancellation-test.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winPreserve Fabric clipping bookkeeping when mounting button children.
removeClippedSubviewsis reachable because the button props extendViewProps, andupdateProps:forwards toRCTViewComponentView.React Native tracks clipped children in
_reactSubviewsand mounts visible children throughcurrentContainerView. This override always inserts into_buttonView.subviewsand does not update_reactSubviews. When an earlier sibling is clipped,subviews[index]is no longer the logical Fabric sibling. A later mount can therefore use the wrong insertion point, and the new child is not tracked for clipping or remounting.Use React Native’s mount implementation. The underlay is a
CALayer, so it does not occupy aUIViewsubview index.Suggested fix
- (void)mountChildComponentView:(RNGHUIView<RCTComponentViewProtocol> *)childComponentView index:(NSInteger)index { #if !TARGET_OS_OSX - react_native_assert(childComponentView.superview == nil && "Attempt to mount already mounted component view"); - - NSArray<RNGHUIView *> *subviews = _buttonView.subviews; - if (index < (NSInteger)subviews.count) { - [_buttonView insertSubview:childComponentView belowSubview:subviews[index]]; - } else { - [_buttonView addSubview:childComponentView]; - } + [super mountChildComponentView:childComponentView index:index]; #else [_buttonView mountChildComponentView:childComponentView index:index]; #endif }🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Description
RNGestureHandlerButtonkeeps_underlayLayerat sublayer index 0 (since #4032). The buttoncomponent view mounted children with
insertSubview:atIndex:, which counts every sublayer, so anychild mounted at
index > 0after the first layout was inserted one slot too low, behind itspreceding sibling. With view flattening, the children of a background-only View are hoisted into the
button after that View, so swapped content (e.g. a label ↔
ActivityIndicator) disappearedbehind the background. Fixes #4602.
This is also the root cause of the crash in #4062 ("Attempt to unmount a view which has a
different index"). #4065 made unmounting skip the index check; this fixes the indices themselves.
This inserts relative to the sibling subview (
insertSubview:belowSubview:/addSubview:),which ignores sublayers that aren't backing views, and keeps the default implementation's
debug check that the child isn't already mounted. macOS is unchanged.
Test plan
Tests › Button child order: tap Toggle. Before, the RNGH columns go blank on iOS;after, they match the
Viewcolumn. Android is unaffected.button-child-order-testcompares the opacity row against screenshotbaselines. It fails on
main(1.64% diff) and passes with this change; the existing 6 flowsstill pass, in both Release and Debug builds.
