What happened?
Root component Appear not working in first time after launch
Root cause: AppState.addEventListener('change', ...) only fires on changes — not the initial state. On first launch the app is already 'active', so no change event fires. handleAppStateChange (which calls componentDidAppear()) never runs.
RNN's bindComponent should handle this, but for root screens RNN sometimes fires componentDidAppear before the component is fully mounted, causing it to be missed.
What was the expected behaviour?
No response
Was it tested on latest react-native-navigation?
