Describe the bug

I have a problem with the ref of focus input. I migrated from 1.3.9 to 2.4.1

Reproduction - (required - issue will be closed without this)

Implement the component. Implement useRef then when executing placesRef?.Current?.Focus () in the onWillFocus event of react navigation the app crashed.

Please provide a FULLY REPRODUCIBLE example.

Hi, it works for me when I did it in the useEffect hook

React.useEffect(() => {
    ref.current && ref.current?.focus();
  }, []);
