FAQ

ScrollView does not scroll to top on status bar press

On iPhone, the scroll-to-top gesture has no effect if there is more than one scroll view on-screen that has scrollsToTop set to true. Since it defaults to true in ReactNative, you have to set scrollsToTop={false} on your ScrollView inside Menu component in order to get it working as desired.

The swipe animation is extremely slow

Try disabling remote JS debugging (from developer menu on phone/VD)

My SideMenu contents are visible even when the side menu is hidden

Ensure that your main view has a background color applied

<Sidemenu menu={menu}>
<App style={{backgroundColor='white'}} />
</SideMenu>
