React Native ScrollView scrollTo function is not working

I'm trying to make scroll to the top, if a certain condition is met, in the component's componentWillReceiveProps event ... but nothing happens:

componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
     // some code...

    if (newQuery === query && this.scrollViewRef.current) {
      console.log('Should scroll to top'); // << logs successfully

      this.scrollViewRef.current.scrollTo({
        x: 0,
        y: 0,
        duration: 500,
        animated: true,
      });
    }
  }

Code snippet of how I created ref for the scrollView:

class SearchResult extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.scrollViewRef = React.createRef();
  }
//...
}

render method:

render () {
   return (
      <ScrollView
        ref={this.scrollViewRef}
        contentContainerStyle={{ marginVertical: 8 }}
      >
    ...
    )
}

I also tried to scroll manually via a button press ... doesn't work as well

Any help ?

I figured this out ...

The scrollView worked perfectly in an isolated env ( a brand new project ) ...

I thought the issue could be in the container of that scrollview ... and I found that the parent component has also a ScrollView ... once i removed it, everything worked perfectly.
