I'm having a hard time understanding I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple. Currently developing a React Native application targeting iOS 17. I've run into a perplexing navigation issue specifically on iPhone 15 where the stack navigator seems to misbehave. When pushing new screens, the back button often doesn't pop the screen as expected, particularly when using nested navigators. After checking the latest version of React Navigation (6.0.0) and ensuring the proper setup, I tried various configurations of the navigators. Hereโ€™s a simplified version of my implementation: ```javascript import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native'; import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack'; const Stack = createStackNavigator(); function App() { return ( <NavigationContainer> <Stack.Navigator> <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} /> <Stack.Screen name="Details" component={DetailsScreen} /> </Stack.Navigator> </NavigationContainer> ); } ``` I've verified that version 0.70.0 of React Native is installed, and all dependencies are correctly linked. To diagnose, I added console logs around the navigation actions, and they seem to trigger correctly. However, the UI doesn't reflect these actions until I manually force a re-render using state updates in my components. To troubleshoot further, I attempted to switch from stack navigator to a drawer navigator to see if it affected the behavior. Surprisingly, the issue persisted there as well. I also looked into the React Navigation documentation, but thereโ€™s no mention of iOS-specific bugs or quirks with the latest iOS version. Has anyone experienced similar navigation issues on iPhone 15 with React Native? What could be causing this erratic behavior? Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. I'm working with Javascript in a Docker container on Windows 11. I appreciate any insights! My team is using Javascript for this mobile app. Thanks for taking the time to read this! This is happening in both development and production on Windows 10. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this.
