Description

I have a Huawei P10 Lite and I have to ignore the android app because I can't see chat messages there sadly. It was hard to figure out the reason, but it's a Huawei + Android7 bug (as it seems).

mention on RN version: https://github.com/expo/react-native-invertible-scroll-view/issues/47

(I hope it fixes the issue. If you have a test build, ping me and I can install it and verify if it works or not)

Research direction

Start by checking how the Android app pins React Native and compare the requested upgrade with the linked React Native and react-native-gifted-chat references. Build the Android app and verify whether chat messages render on a Huawei P10 Lite running Android 7; done means the upgrade is applied and the reported display issue is confirmed fixed or reproduced.
