Fix initialPage for Tabs

[tiberiumihai]

InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions(f) happen to sometimes never call f. Specially in DEV mode.

@tiberiumihai Seems like you did not go through Contribution Guidelines

Please check it and update your code

[SupriyaKalghatgi]

You cannot edit code in dist

[tiberiumihai]

My bad. I'll update the PR.

[SupriyaKalghatgi]

@tiberiumihai Any updates on this

[tiberiumihai]

I've removed the changes from dist folder and left only the changes from src.

I used the contributing guideline to also test this in a new project.

This should be solved now.

@tiberiumihai
Fix works in simple test case (still incorrectly renders in debug mode, though).
In the actual application does not work for both debug and release

Issue is rather frustrating and apparently somewhere deep in RN, since I was able to follow call to scrollTo in Interaction Manager. Correct values are going through up to the place where it is bridged to native module aaand ✨magically✨ nothing happens.

@ecnaidar
What do you mean "in simple test case"?
Do you have another use case in which this fix doesn't work?

Try to increase the InteractionManager's setTimeout time, probably your app is not so responsive due to some js processing and it needs more time to run the function.

@tiberiumihai Just several tabs with text.
I have tried fiddling with timeout time, did not help. I suspect that animations in higher component hierarchy are interfering.

EDIT
Ok, empty tabs at the same place as ones that I need to have are rendered correctly around 4/10 times
The more tabs there are the lower the chances lmao (timeout value variation has not effect)

#1443 This fixes issue for my specific case so apparently it makes situation better but certainly not a robust solution as heavier content breaks it

@tiberiumihai Indicator issue in case of changing initialPage value while hot reload
