ShapeSource does not update dynamically

Describe the bug When a SymbolLayer is dynamically added to a ShapeSource, it seems it is not shown.

To Reproduce Based on CustomIcon example, I replaced the code with the code below. To reproduce, just copy-paste the code in place of the existing code in CustomIcon example.

import React from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
import MapboxGL from '@react-native-mapbox-gl/maps';

import sheet from '../styles/sheet';

import BaseExamplePropTypes from './common/BaseExamplePropTypes';
import Page from './common/Page';
import Bubble from './common/Bubble';

const styles = {
  icon: {
    iconAllowOverlap: true,
  },
  view: {
    width: 60,
    height: 60,
    borderColor: 'black',
    borderWidth: 1,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center'
  },
  text: {
    fontSize: 50
  }
};

const customIcons = ['😀', '🤣', '😋', '😢', '😬']

class CustomIcon extends React.Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      featureCollection: {
        type: 'FeatureCollection',
        features: [{
          type: 'Feature',
          geometry: {
            coordinates: [-73.970895, 40.723279],
            type: 'Point'
          },
          id: 1,
          properties: {
            customIcon: customIcons[0]
          }
        }]
     },
    };

    this.onPress = this.onPress.bind(this);
    this.onSourceLayerPress = this.onSourceLayerPress.bind(this);
  }

  onPress(e) {
    const feature = {
      type: 'Feature',
      geometry: e.geometry,
      id: Date.now(),
      properties: {
        customIcon: customIcons[this.state.featureCollection.features.length]
      }
    };

    this.setState(({ featureCollection }) => ({
      featureCollection: {
        type: 'FeatureCollection',
        features: [
          ...featureCollection.features,
          feature
        ]
      }
    }));
  }

  onSourceLayerPress(e) {
    const feature = e.nativeEvent.payload;
    console.log('You pressed a layer here is your feature', feature); // eslint-disable-line
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Page {...this.props}>
        <MapboxGL.MapView
          ref={c => (this._map = c)}
          onPress={this.onPress}
          style={sheet.matchParent}
        >
          <MapboxGL.Camera
            zoomLevel={9}
            centerCoordinate={[-73.970895, 40.723279]}
          />

          <MapboxGL.ShapeSource
            id="symbolLocationSource"
            hitbox={{width: 20, height: 20}}
            onPress={this.onSourceLayerPress}
            shape={this.state.featureCollection}
          >
            {this.state.featureCollection.features.map((feature, ind) => (
              <MapboxGL.SymbolLayer
                id={"symbolLocationSymbols" + feature.id}
                key={feature.id}
                filter={['==', 'customIcon', customIcons[ind]]}
                minZoomLevel={1}
                style={styles.icon}
              >
                <View style={styles.view}>
                  <Text style={styles.text}>
                    {feature.properties.customIcon}
                  </Text>
                </View>
              </MapboxGL.SymbolLayer>
            ))}
          </MapboxGL.ShapeSource>
        </MapboxGL.MapView>

        <Bubble>
          <Text>Tap to add an icon</Text>
        </Bubble>
      </Page>
    );
  }
}

export default CustomIcon;

Expected behavior “Tap to add an icon”

@mfazekas, @kristfal do you know anything about why this happens? It makes it kinda impossible to create a map with annotations that are queried from an API and displayed dynamically, which is a rather common use case for annotations and is what I am trying to as well.

I confirm, It’s a big issue with this library right now. I’d like to help.
