Unmounting list header component while applying maintainVisibleContentPosition to flatlist renders white space in place of header compoent on Ios

[itsramiel]

Description

If a flatlist with a maintainVisibleContentPosition prop set has a header list component that is unmounted then the header component unmounts but the list does not scroll to the first element and instead renders white space.

Here is the source code also available as snack:

import React, {useState} from 'react';
import {
  SafeAreaView,
  View,
  FlatList,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  StatusBar,
  Button,
} from 'react-native';

type ItemProps = {title: string};

const Item = ({title}: ItemProps) => (
  <View style={styles.item}>
    <Text style={styles.title}>{title}</Text>
  </View>
);

const App = () => {
  const [isHeaderShown, setIsHeaderShown] = useState(true);
  return (
    <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
      <FlatList
        maintainVisibleContentPosition={{
          minIndexForVisible: 0,
          autoscrollToTopThreshold: 0,
        }}
        ListHeaderComponent={
          isHeaderShown ? (
            <View style={{padding: 128, backgroundColor: 'red'}} />
          ) : null
        }
        data={Array.from({length: 30})
          .fill(0)
          .map((_, index) => `Item ${index}`)}
        renderItem={({item}) => <Item title={item} />}
      />
      <Button
        title="press me"
        onPress={() => {
          setIsHeaderShown(prev => !prev);
        }}
      />
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    marginTop: StatusBar.currentHeight || 0,
  },
  item: {
    backgroundColor: '#f9c2ff',
    padding: 20,
    marginVertical: 8,
    marginHorizontal: 16,
  },
  title: {
    fontSize: 32,
  },
});

export default App;
