[Android] Image drops `source.headers` for a single-object source since 0.86 (only array sources forward headers)

El error está en Libraries/Image/Image.android.js. Comience leyendo la función render alrededor de la línea 300. La solución es desestructurar headers del source de objeto único y asignarlos a nativeProps.headers, reflejando la rama de source de array. Pruebe construyendo una aplicación mínima de React Native en Android que cargue una imagen autenticada, o ejecute las pruebas existentes de Image para asegurarse de que el cambio funcione.

Description

Since React Native 0.86, <Image source={{uri, headers}} /> on Android no longer sends the headers with the image request when source is a single object. The headers are still forwarded when source is an array of sources.

Cause (Libraries/Image/Image.android.js, 0.86.3): in the render function the native headers prop is only set inside the if (Array.isArray(source_)) branch:

if (Array.isArray(source_)) {
  const {headers: sourceHeaders, width: sourceWidth, height: sourceHeight} = source_[0];
  if (sourceHeaders != null) {
    nativeProps.headers = sourceHeaders;
  }
  …
} else {
  const {uri, width: sourceWidth, height: sourceHeight} = source_;   // headers are dropped here
  …
  nativeProps.source = [source_];
}

The Android native view (ReactImageView) takes request headers only from the separate headers prop (ReactImageManager.setHeaders → ReactNetworkImageRequest.fromBuilderWithHeaders), not from the per-source entries, so the request is made without them. In 0.79 the prop was built as headers: source?.[0]?.headers || source?.headers, which covered both forms. iOS is not affected (headers are read from the source natively).

Real-world impact: every authenticated image (e.g. headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer …'}) silently fails with HTTP 401 on Android after upgrading to 0.86; onError reports Unexpected HTTP code Response{protocol=h2, code=401, …}.

Steps to reproduce

1. Render an image whose server requires a request header, single-object source:

   <Image source={{uri: 'https://example.com/protected.png', headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer <token>'}}} style={{width: 96, height: 96}} onError={e => console.log(e.nativeEvent.error)} />
   

2. On Android 0.86.x the request is sent without Authorization (server answers 401, onError fires, the image never loads).
3. The same element with an array source works: source={[{uri: '…', headers: {…}}]}.
4. On 0.79.x (and on iOS) both forms send the header.

Stacktrace or Logs

[Image onError] Unexpected HTTP code Response{protocol=h2, code=401, message=, url=https://…/image?v=…}

(Replaying the exact URL with the same Authorization header via curl returns 200; the header simply is not attached by the Android image request.)

MANDATORY Reproducer

Minimal snippet above; the defect is a one-line omission in Libraries/Image/Image.android.js. Proposed fix (we run it as a patch-package patch on 0.86.3):

   } else {
-    const {uri, width: sourceWidth, height: sourceHeight} = source_;
+    const {
+      uri,
+      headers: sourceHeaders,
+      width: sourceWidth,
+      height: sourceHeight,
+    } = source_;
     if (uri === '') {
       console.warn('source.uri should not be an empty string');
     }
+    if (sourceHeaders != null) {
+      nativeProps.headers = sourceHeaders;
+    }

A harness that transpiles Image.android.js with @react-native/babel-preset, renders it with a mocked native component and asserts the headers prop for object and array sources fails on 0.86.3 and passes with the change; happy to open a PR with it if that helps.

Not needed: the image never loads (401), onError fires.
