Current behavior

I'm encountering an issue on Android devices where the tab label status is incorrect when switching between tabs.

This issue appeared after upgrading to Expo 52, along with the latest versions of @react-navigation/native (^7.0.0) and react-native-tab-view (^4.0.2).

The problem did not occur with Expo version 51, @react-navigation/native (^6.0.2), and react-native-tab-view (^3.5.2).

Please refer to the video for a demonstration of the issue.

Expected behavior

Tab label status show correctly with Expo 52

Hey @hapo-nghialuu! Thanks for opening the issue. It seems that the issue doesn't contain a link to a repro.

The best way to get attention to your issue is to provide an easy way for a developer to reproduce the issue.

You can provide a repro using any of the following:

• Expo Snack
• TypeScript Playground
• GitHub repo under your username

A snack link is preferred since it's the easiest way to both create and share a repro. If it's not possible to create a repro using a snack, link to a GitHub repo under your username is a good alternative. Don't link to a branch or specific file etc. as it won't be detected.

Try to keep the repro as small as possible by narrowing down the minimal amount of code needed to reproduce the issue. Don't link to your entire project or a project containing code unrelated to the issue. See "How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example" for more information.

You can edit your original issue to include a link to the repro, or leave it as a comment. The issue will be closed automatically after a while if you don't provide a repro.

The versions mentioned in the issue for the following packages differ from the latest versions on npm:

• @react-navigation/native (found: 7.0.0, latest: 7.0.3)

Can you verify that the issue still exists after upgrading to the latest versions of these packages?

Hey! Thanks for opening the issue. Seems that this issue is related to react-native-pager-view library which is a dependency of Material Top Tabs. Can you also post your issue in this repo so that it's notified to the maintainers of that library? This will help us fix the issue faster since it's upto the maintainers of that library to investigate it.

I upgraded @react-navigation/native to 7.0.3, but this issue still is encountered

const renderTabBar = (props: any) => {
  return (
    <TabBar
      {...props}
      indicatorStyle={{ backgroundColor: 'blue' }}
      style={{
        backgroundColor: 'white',
      }}
      activeColor="blue"
      inactiveColor="gray"
      scrollEnabled={true}
      tabStyle={{ width: 100 }}
    />
  );
};

<TabView
          lazy
          navigationState={{ index, routes }}
          renderScene={renderScene}
          onIndexChange={setIndex}
          renderTabBar={renderTabBar}
          initialLayout={{
            width: layout.width,
          }}
        />

I realize that the issue occurs when using renderTabBar, otherwise, it doesn't happen.

It seems that tabStyle={{ width: 100 }} is causing the bug
