State always has initial value when submitting in tests

[marcinkornek]

I'm testing out react-native-owl and it's great library!
I encountered one strange issue - in my test app I have search input with submit button. Search query is saved in state (with useState). When I press "Search" button, it requests backend and shows results. When I test it with react-native-owl, the query is always empty. I added <Text> with text value and it displays valid value, but when I press submit button and it's empty.
I tried to reproduce it using your demo app https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-native-owl-demo so I added submit button with onPress={() => Alert.alert('text from state', text)} and it's also empty. When I pressed it manually afterwards (during test) it shows valid text.

Tested on iOS simulator and Android emulator.
