React-native-navigation: Navigation.events().bindComponent not working after setRoot for the second time

[Komeyl94]

Issue Description

I've used setRoot when switching users in my app, but the problem is that after switching it seems that the navigation events doesn't bind again, so as a result non of the lifecycle methods (didAppear & didDisappear) works!
Does anybody know what could be the problem?

Same here, because when you setRoot, componentDidMount of "new Component instance" call first, then componentWillUnmount of "old Component instance" call later, which trigger unmounted function of ComponentEventsObserver class (check code in react-native-navigation/events), which should remove all your listener.

Work around here, try to setRoot to some temp root screen, thanks for setRoot return Promise, so you can know setRoot complete, then you can set it to your real root screen.
