react-native-reanimated v4.1 stop working on Tab screens when I swiched the Tab

[dovhanrg]

Hey there.
Not sure if it's a bug or I missed something.
Recently when I've updated react-native-reanimated from v3.18.0 to v4.1.0 - and animations on TabScreens starts to work only first time screen rendered. After I switch to another tab or screen and switched back - animation stop working. At the same time on Stack Screens animation works as it used to on v3.
With gpt I found out that I need to pass freezeOnBlur: false prop to Tab.Screen options param.
Is it a bug and will be fixed or eventually I have to pass this freezeOnBlur: false prop to TabScreens?
Currently I have installed:
"react-native-reanimated": "^4.1.0"
"react-native-worklets": "^0.5.1"
"react-native": "0.80.1"
"@react-navigation/native": "^7.1.14"
"@react-navigation/native-stack": "^7.3.21"
"@react-navigation/stack": "^7.4.2"
"react-native-screens": "^4.11.1"
"@react-navigation/bottom-tabs": "^7.4.7"
"@react-navigation/native": "^7.1.14"

and i've changed in babel.config to 'react-native-worklets/plugin'

Hey @dovhanrg!

We were having some issues related to react-freeze which seemed to be already resolved. Maybe the issue came back and we would have to fix it again. Can you possibly prepare a repro example where this issue can be reproduced?

Hey @MatiPl01 !

Thanks for your attention and for your response.
This was a false alarm from my side.
I've tried to make a minimal reproducible example with the same setup as in our project(but with v4) and failed. In this setup all worked on TabScreen as it used to on v3.
It made me to dig once more in our project why it isn't working when bumping reanimated to v4 and I found that we are using enableFreeze(true) in a root of our project.
I've commented it out and everything start to work as expected.

Just to be sure I checked two scenarios on this minmal setup.
On v3.18 enableFreeze(true) doesn't do anything - on TabScreens animations work.
On v4.1.0 and react-native-worklets v0.5.1 if enableFreeze(true) present animations stop working when I left the Tab Screen.

Sorry for the late response here. I think this issue should be fixed in 4.1.3 when release this fix. For now, you can try using this patch.
