static html not shown on iOS26 #3

Before submitting a new issue

• I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
• I tested using a supported version of react native.
• I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

Bug summary

I render static html content in an expo (54) route, so the screen has a navigation bar. No other Views are added. just

const wrappedHtml = `<html>
  <head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
    <style>
      body {
        color: ${textColor};
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
  ${html}
  </body>
  </html>`;

  return (
    <SizedWebView
      scrollEnabled={false}
      source={{ html: wrappedHtml }}
      javaScriptEnabled={false}
    />
  );

nothing appeared for iOS.
As soon as i add a minHeight and a "test" backgroundColor i can see the View is renders for a few frames or so and then vanishes.

I assume this must be related to the native height calculation or the WebView because on Android everything is working as expected.
