Compass not rendering on android

[Artotim]

Describe the bug
The compass that is supposed to appear during rotation of the map it's not rendering (android).

To Reproduce
Followed the instructions from install.md

With versions:

    rnmbglMapboxLibs = {
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:9.7.1'
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-sdk-services:5.8.0'
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-sdk-turf:5.8.0'
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-gestures:0.7.0'
    }

    rnmbglMapboxPlugins = {
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-annotation-v9:0.8.0'
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-localization-v9:0.14.0'
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-markerview-v9:0.4.0'
    }

and a clean install.

Please include a single standalone React Native component.

export default class MapBoxScreen extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {
        };
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <MapboxGL.MapView
                style={{flex:.9}}
                compassEnabled={true}
                compassViewPosition={1}
            >
            </MapboxGL.MapView>
        );
    }
}

Expected behavior
Expected the compass to show on rotation on the top right corner.

Actual behavior
Compass is not rendering

Closing issue because it got fixed by the last update (8.6.0)

I am facing the same issue of missing compass. However simple update in package.json did not help. I do have the same version for implementation as stated above.

-"@react-native-mapbox-gl/maps": "8.5.0",
+"@react-native-mapbox-gl/maps": "8.6.0-beta.0",

@Artotim Have you done any other changes?

So far only solution was to remove whole section of rnmbglMapboxLibs from build.gradle. Which downgrades mapbox-android-sdk to 9.1.0.

rnmbglMapboxLibs = {
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:9.7.1'
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-sdk-services:5.8.0'
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-sdk-turf:5.8.0'
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-gestures:0.7.0'
    }

    rnmbglMapboxPlugins = {
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-annotation-v9:0.8.0'
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-localization-v9:0.14.0'
        implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-markerview-v9:0.4.0'
    }

I still don't know why it does not work, but I found following workaround. It simply set compass image again. Remember to also set compassViewPosition on Map. Please let me know if there is a better solution.
