LottieView imperative api not working for bare RN project

[georgiosApo]

Description

Hello Lottie!

Using LottieView in a declarative way works just fine, however I want to use the imperative api to trigger the animation on button press. This simply doesn't work for me. I've inited a new RN project through the community cli to make sure it wasn't my project that was causing issues.

Maybe this is an issue when using lottie-react-native outside an Expo environment. My snack work just fine.

Might be missing something obvious here, any pointers would be much appreciated!

Steps to reproduce

1. Init new project with npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init AwesomeProject
2. Add lottie-react-native to project
3. Run pod install in your ios folder
4. Replace App.tsx content with lottie-react-native imperative api example implementation from GitHub
5. Animation won't run when running app in ios simulator

Is this a known issue? It has never work for me on iOS for a while now; only works on Android currently for me. Anyone has a solution? I am using this for React Native project.
