Summary:
RefreshControl did not start refreshing when refreshing was set to true initially. It also did not start refreshing on iOS when setting the prop from false to true without doing a pull to refresh gesture.
This was a pain in the ass to make work on iOS because UIRefreshControl seems super sensitive to when beginRefreshing can be called, for the initial render I need to call it in layoutSubviews. I also have to manually adjust the scrollview content offset when calling beginRefreshing. The code is a bit hacky but it was the only solution I found that was actually working.

Summary:
Both iOS and Android currently support some sort of native pull to refresh control but the API was very different. I tried implementing a component based on PullToRefreshViewAndroid but that works on both platforms.
I liked the idea of wrapping the ListView or ScrollView with the PullToRefreshView component and allow styling the refresh view with platform specific props if needed. I also like the fact that 'refreshing' is a controlled prop so there is no need to keep a ref to the component or to the stopRefreshing function.
It is a pretty rough start so I'm looking for feedback and ideas to improve on the API before cleaning up everything.
On iOS we could probably deprecate the onRefreshStart property of the ScrollView and implement the native stuff in a PullToRefreshViewManager. We could then add props to customize the look of the UIRefreshControl (tintColor). We could also deprecate the Android only component and remove it later.
