`alignContent: stretch` doesn't actually stretch rows in a `flexWrap: wrap` layout

Description

I'm seeing a big discrepency between react native web and iOS/Android for the behavior of alignContent: stretch for views with flexWrap: wrap and flexDirection: column. I noticed the discrepency when I tried to set the alignSelf property of an individual element inside the flex container.

On web, alignContent: stretch works as expected. Each row becomes tall enough that I can align elements individually within their respective row using alignSelf

But on iOS and Android, alignSelf initially seems to have no effect. This is because, even though alignContent: stretch is set, the implicit row containers don't actually stretch out to their full height. Rows begin in their expected positions, but the height of each row is implicitly fit to contents instead of stretching. This means my elements can't align themselves properly — they have nowhere to go, their container is too restricted.

An almost-workaround I found, for example, is to add an empty view inside the flex container that has the desired height of a row — that makes the row stretch out enough so that other elements are visibly aligned correctly. But this isn't a real option for me — first of all, it breaks any layout that depends on the number  I can't guarantee the height or number of any particular element, as I need to build very generically.

Steps to reproduce

See expo snack
In general, I believe:

1. Create a flex container with "flexDirection": "row", "flexWrap": "wrap", "alignContent": "stretch"
2. Add a child with "alignSelf": "flex-end", or `"alignSelf": "center"
3. Observe that alignSelf changes the element's position on web, as expect, but has no effect on ios/android

Web (Expected Behavior)

Mobile (Rows are too short, can't align properly)

Start with the linked Expo Snack reproducer and compare the web, iOS, and Android results for a wrapped flex container using alignContent: stretch and a child using alignSelf. Done means the native platforms stretch the implicit rows so alignSelf can position children within each row as it does on web.
