Since commit 5a29a75, a visual glitch has been introduced on iOS when using a bottom tab navigator.
After the loading/splash screen disappears, the app correctly lands on the first tab. However, the second tab flashes briefly on screen before the UI settles back on the first tab. This produces a visible flicker that is noticeable to end users and was not present before this commit.
The regression is bisected to commit 5a29a75. Reverting this commit resolves the issue.

What was the expected behaviour?
The first tab is displayed immediately and stably after the splash screen, with no other tab content appearing.
Was it tested on latest react-native-navigation?
I have tested this issue on the latest react-native-navigation release and it still reproduces.
Help us reproduce this issue!
Use a bottom tab layout with at least 2 tabs.
Launch the app (cold start).
Observe the transition from the splash/loading screen to the main tab screen.
In what environment did this happen?
React Native Navigation version: 0.84.1
React Native version: 8.7.6 and superior version
Has Fabric (React Native's new rendering system) enabled: yes
