Description

question: sometimes .snapToItem(index) fails

I call this.carousel.snapToItem(index) within componentDidUpdate(). This sometimes works, but sometimes doesn't (to "fix" this I put the call in the setTimeout).

I was just wondering if there was a "warm up" time for the carousel (or the underlying Views).

And if so, how can I check that it is "ready".

Thanks

Research direction

Start with the componentDidUpdate() entry point and the carousel.snapToItem(index) call described in the issue. Reproduce the intermittent failure without the setTimeout workaround, then determine whether a readiness signal exists and document the expected behavior and supported solution.
