setBounds zooms to incorrect location when over antemeridian

If you call setting bounds on the camera with coordinates crossing the antemeridian (eg { ne: [150, 20], sw: [-179, -20] } it zooms to the map as if the bounds had west and east swapped (eg { ne: [-179, 20], sw: [150, -20] }`. Instead it should zoom the map to the area crossing the antemeridian (line at ±180 lon).

To Reproduce use the starter instructions, and the following map code

          <MapboxGL.MapView style={styles.map} >
            <MapboxGL.Camera bounds={{
              ne: [150, 20],
              sw: [-179, -20],
            }}/>
            </MapboxGL.MapView>

this zooms here:

Expected behavior it should zoom to a region in the pacific eg

Versions (please complete the following information):

• Platform: both
• Device: iPhone X
• Emulator/ Simulator: yes
• OS: iOS 13.4.1
• react-native-mapbox-gl Version [e.g. 7.0.9]
• React Native Version 0.62.2

This could be a problem inside of mapbox itself, im not too sure how the camera/zooming works

In MapboxGL it’s implemented with setVisibleCoordinatesBounds. Just add 360 to the Western Longitude.

e.g. to show Japan and Mexico: LongitudeNE: 128.43 LongitudeSW: 273.19

So you just need a React Native Wrapper for that method. I did a quick and dirty version with custom data types for my project, but have a look for some inspiration: https://github.com/jaysquared/maps/commit/7d369a77d6bd5d8cafdda6d776b81e982f4d48a5

To calculate out of an array of Coordinates / CoordinateBounds I use this method:

const generateVisibleBounds = (mixedBounds: Array<CoordinateBoundsType | CoordinateType>): ?CoordinateBoundsType => {

  const latitudes = [];
  const longitudes = [];
  mixedBounds.forEach((mixedBound) => {
    if (typeof mixedBound.latitude === 'number' && typeof mixedBound.longitude === 'number') {
      latitudes.push(mixedBound.latitude);
      longitudes.push(mixedBound.longitude);
    } else {
      latitudes.push(mixedBound.sw.latitude);
      longitudes.push(mixedBound.sw.longitude);
      latitudes.push(mixedBound.ne.latitude);
      longitudes.push(mixedBound.ne.longitude);
    }
  });

  const latitudeNE = Math.max(...latitudes);
  const latitudeSW = Math.min(...latitudes);
  let longitudeNE;
  let longitudeSW;

  const eastLongitudes = longitudes.filter(longitude => longitude >= 0);
  const westLongitudes = longitudes.filter(longitude => longitude < 0);

  if (eastLongitudes.length === 0 || westLongitudes.length === 0) {
    longitudeNE = Math.max(...longitudes);
    longitudeSW = Math.min(...longitudes);
  } else {
    console.log({ eastLongitudes, westLongitudes });
    const minEastLongitude = Math.min(...eastLongitudes);
    const maxEastLongitude = Math.max(...eastLongitudes);
    const minWestLongitude = Math.min(...westLongitudes);
    const maxWestLongitude = Math.max(...westLongitudes);

    const longitudeSpreadDefault = maxEastLongitude - minWestLongitude;
    const longitudeSpreadDateline = 360 - minEastLongitude + maxWestLongitude;

    if (longitudeSpreadDateline < longitudeSpreadDefault) {
      longitudeNE = minEastLongitude;
      longitudeSW = 360 + maxWestLongitude;
    } else {
      longitudeNE = maxEastLongitude;
      longitudeSW = minWestLongitude;
    }
  }


  if (!latitudeNE || !latitudeSW || !longitudeNE || !longitudeSW) {
    return null;
  }
  return {
    sw: {
      latitude: latitudeSW,
      longitude: longitudeSW,
    },
    ne: {
      latitude: latitudeNE,
      longitude: longitudeNE,
    },
  };
};
