React-Native Animated does not work near setState

let animatedHeight = new Animated.Value(50);

const animate = () => {
    animatedHeight.setValue(50);
    Animated.timing(animatedHeight, {
      toValue: 0,
      duration: 200,
      useNativeDriver: true
    }).start();
  };



  const handleSubmit = async (values:ILoginProps) => {
        setLoading(true);

        axios.post('http://127.0.0.1:3333/api/v1/auth/login', values)
        .then(res => {
            console.log(res);
        })
        .catch(err => {
            console.log(err);
            animate();
            setLoading(false);
        })
    
  }

  <Animated.View style={[style.errorContainer, {transform: [{translateY: animatedHeight}]}]}>
     <Text style={style.errorText}>Credentials not found!</Text>
  </Animated.View>

I have this code, first I set a loading state and then execute a animate function which runs the Animated function to create the animation effect.

When i have setLoading(true) before animate(), the animation doesn't happen.

I really have no idea why this happens and no idea how to solve this

Use useRef hook to wrap your animated value. React will keep tracking of its value after re-rendering, in other case you might lose it.

let animatedHeight = React.useRef(new Animated.Value(50)).current;
