[iOS/iPadOS] - `FlatList` refresh handling broken/dysfunctional

Description

Description

Since upgrading to the new architecture it seems like the refresh/pull-to-refresh feature of the FlatList is broken/not fully functional any longer. However, this is only the case if you place another FlatList OR ScrollView in the same view. Placing just a list in each view does not lead to problems.

Pulling down and refreshing works twice before being dysfunctional. Eventually, after a certain pattern, the functionality works again twice and then breaks again.

The sample code provided below works as intended on the old architecture.

Version

0.71.3

Output of npx react-native info

Not relevant for this issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new react-native project with the help of the CLI, install all dependencies and pods and build the application on a iOS/iPadOS device.
2. Paste the provided code into the App.tsx file
3. Pull down the list and notice how the loading spinner is displayed for a brief time
4. Use the Switch button to unmount the current view and mount another one containing two FlatList components and a ScrollView (for demonstration purposes).
5. Pull to refresh on the most left FlatList (orange one) and once again use the Switch button
6. Pull down the initial list and notice how the loading spinner is NOT displayed and the onRefresh handler is not called

      <View
        style={{

          flexDirection: "row",

      >
        <FlatList
          data={data}
          style={style}
          refreshing={false}
          renderItem={GenericListItem}
          onRefresh={() => console.log("List #2 refresh is called")}
        />

        {/* Breaks refresh handling of both lists occasionally */}
        <FlatList
          data={data}
          renderItem={GenericListItem}
          style={{ backgroundColor: "purple" }}
        />

        {/* The same applies to the normal ScrollView component */}
        <ScrollView style={{ backgroundColor: "blue" }}>
          {data.map((item) => (
            <GenericListItem key={item} />
          ))}
        </ScrollView>
      </View>
    </>
  )
}

function GenericListItem() {
  return (
    <View style={{ width: 300, height: 48 }}>
      <Text>Generic test item</Text>
    </View>
  )
}

Comienza con el proyecto de reproducción enlazado y su App.tsx; después, reproduce la secuencia de actualización en un dispositivo iOS/iPadOS usando la nueva arquitectura. El fix estará completo cuando cambiar entre vistas que contienen varios componentes FlatList o ScrollView no desactive el spinner ni el handler onRefresh de la lista inicial.
