Description

When the device locale is an RTL language, using a ScrollView's scrollToEnd() function will scroll to the beginning of the scrollview, rather than the end. Notice in all gifs but the Android RTL one, when I click on blue or white boxes, I am scrolled to the purple box.

Platform	LTR	RTL
Android
iOS

Reproducible Demo

Snack available here: https://snack.expo.io/HkdupfeGm

Note that on iOS, the Expo app does not seem to support RTL well. I've added in a call to force RTL, but you may need to refresh the code to see RTL behavior.
