onPress not working for children

[kirtan96]

I have the following code:
<SelectableText selectable={true} menuItems={["Add to note", "Comment"]} onSelection={(props) => { console.log(props) alert(props.eventType + ": " + props.content) }} style={{margin: 20}} appendToChildren={ <Text> Hello <Text onPress={() => alert('Hello World')} style={{fontWeight: 'bold'}}>World</Text> </Text> } />

and it outputs the text correctly, however, the onPress of Text component (on word: "World") does not work. If I were to have same "Hello World" Text Component outside of SelectableTextComponent, the onPress works fine.

the same issue, maybe edit RNSelectableText flies can be solved

I'm trying to do something similar. I think it's related to SelectableText essentially being a TextInput under the hood. The same thing happens if you simply do:

<TextInput>
  <Text onPress={() => console.log('hello')}>Some text</Text>
</TextInput>

I can't even get it to work with a trivial example like that. Would be happy if anyone had thoughts!

This appears to be a duplicate of #47
In that issue, they point out the issue is only affecting iOS. I was able to confirm that I'm only seeing the issue on iOS, not Android.
@georgelima I vote we close this issue to keep the discussion in #47
