React Native Flickering Issue When position : absolute in iOS only

[cd-ssrivastava]

Description

On Play floating button 2 buttons in row on click, only bottom UI flickers,
I noticed this happens only when position:absolute and bottom:0 .
flickers dont happens if position:absolute and top: deviceHeight // from Dimensions , but using this on some Android Phone the Bottom UI goes beyond screen view,
Android works, only issue with iOS

<View>
<Dialog1 visible=false>
<Dialog2 visible=false>

<View>
 <FlatList> // removed this , still same issue
</View

   <View style={{
                        position: 'absolute',
                        //  bottom: 0,
                        width: '100%',
                        zIndex: 10,
                        height: 150,
                        alignItems: 'flex-end',
                        top: Platform.OS == 'android' ? '80%' : '80%',

Hey @cd-ssrivastava ,It will be great if you can share a bare minimum reproducer for this issue. You can use this template Reproducer Template.
And according to your npx react-native info output, the issue is on new arch. Can you please verify it on old arch as well? It will help us immensely to narrow down the issue.
