addListener notification is empty (documentation only)

When using addListener(objects, changes) on React Native iOS it always returns empty on the first notification and the second notification returns what should have been in the first one.

I found in results-tests.js below that first notification is empty.

Is this by design or am I doing something wrong here? 😀

        realm.objects('TestObject').addListener((testObjects, changes) => {
            // TODO: First notification is empty, so perform these
            // assertions on the second call. However, there is a race condition
            // in React Native, so find a way to do this in a robust way.
            //TestCase.assertEqual(testObjects.length, 4);
            //TestCase.assertEqual(changes.insertions.length, 1);
            resolve();
        });

@sheshavpd This was a critical issue for me as well, and for now I got it working by doing realm.write(() => {}) (basically a second empty write) after each write. Far from ideal and may not be feasible in your context, but it’s been working well for me in the meantime.
