fix(ios): guard +load with #ifdef RCT_DYNAMIC_FRAMEWORKS

DavidDuarte22 · kkafar · commit 46fd483a7170 · 2026-04-07T15:26:27.000+02:00
The +load methods in 12 ComponentView files are unconditional, but their parent RCTViewComponentView correctly guards its +load behind #ifdef RCT_DYNAMIC_FRAMEWORKS. Without the guard, these +load methods run even when dynamic frameworks are not used, causing conflicts with third-party SDKs (e.g. Akamai BMP) that also use +load — particularly on x86_64 simulators where the load order differs from arm64. This matches the pattern used by React Native core in RCTViewComponentView.mm (see facebook/react-native#37274). Note: UIViewController+RNScreens.mm is intentionally NOT changed as its +load performs method swizzling that is functionally required.
