Description

Description

When i call the "start()" method of Animated.timing the callback inside it is called immediately and not when the animation finish.

This is the code:

Animated.timing(positionY, {
    toValue: 100,
    duration: 500,
    useNativeDriver: false,
}).start(() => {
   hideMessage()
})
Steps to reproduce

I tried to reproduce the error on Expo online but on that playground the code works as expected. I also uploaded the video of the issue

Research direction

Start with the Animated.timing().start() call in the provided reproducer and compare its behavior with the linked Expo Snack, where the callback reportedly works as expected. Reproduce the report on React Native 0.73.4/0.73.5 for Android and iOS, then verify that the callback runs only after the animation finishes.
