Steps to resolve

1. Upgrading react-navigation-redux-helpers in the package.json to version 2.0.8.
2. Do not pass nav navigation prop down to your appNavigator, as in React-Navigation@latest persist its on state.

So instead of doing this

<Provider> <AppNavigation navigation={navigation}/> <Provider>

do this

<Provider> <AppNavigation/> <Provider>
