Not selectable when opacity is 0 in iOS?

I need custom styles for my slider. I couldn't find a library that gave me the control I needed so instead Im making the appearance I need with custom CSS applied to Views which are positioned behind the slider component.

I then need to hide the slider component. If I set `opacity: 0` it's fine on Android but on iOS the slider is un-selectable. Is this a bug or intended behaviour?
