React-native: React-Native scrollToEnd on iOS behaves differently than scrolling manually, putting items to bottom

[ebaynaud]

Description

Please consider this example on iOS: https://sketch.expo.io/SyeyMSx_il

Try to scroll manually, everything looks normal: No comments message stays on top.
If you click now on the button now, the No comments message sticks to the bottom.
If you scroll manually again, everything goes normal again.
Why using scrollToEnd should be different than scrolling manually? And how to fix this weird behaviour?

Adding to ScrollView contentContainerStyle={{ flexGrow: 1 }} helped me.

That workaround is working, indeed. Thanks.

Any ideas on why that would fix it?
