Autostart on mount about react-native-copilot HOT 9 OPEN

I encountered an issue where the code wasn't functioning within the useEffect or useFocusEffect hooks. However, I managed to identify the solution that works perfectly for my use case in the code. To implement this, make sure to place the following code snippet within the top-level container:

<View onLayout={() => start()}>

from react-native-copilot.

I had similar issue but was able to fix it, Here is my solution

const { currentStepNumber } = useCopilot()
  const isMounted = useIsMounted();
  
useEffect(() => {
    const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
      if (isMounted.current && currentStepNumber === 0) {
        start();
      }
    }, TIMEOUT);
    return () => clearTimeout(timeout);
  }, [currentStepNumber, isMounted,  start]);
  

you can search for IsMounted Hook, but I can help you with it if you are unable to find any.

The fix @lurdharry mentions does not work here.

Any update would be greatly appreciated.

@Saigronas try replacing the useEffect hook with useFocusEffect hook from react navigation.

It was working well when I used useEffect but it stopped working at some point may be due to metro bundler cache issue, but since I changed to useFocusEffect , it has been working perfectly even in production.
And also, you don’t need the userIsMounted hook when using useFocusEffect.

Even by using useFocusEffect, (which i already used for another reason), i cannot get the tour to start on its own or by navigating to the screen.

However, when pressing "ctrl+s" and thereby refreshing the app, the tour starts.
This was also the case with using useEffect
