When the app is rotated, reload the root view.

[siuying]

A simple fix to rotation issue: on rotate simply reload the root view.

Ideally it should animate the changes, but until I figure out how to do that this should do.

Fixes Workaround #813.

I appreciate this, but IMO I wouldn't call it a "fix" for #813. This behavior would not be acceptable in any app of mine. Especially wouldn't want this to be the default behavior. Another stopgap for that issue would be to set alignItems on any single line text, or explicit width if you can manage. There isn't a solution for multiline that I can find now though.

@drkibitz Agreed! The actual fix should include figure out why the label is disappearing, properly relayout the views on rotate (#809), animate them, update view controllers so that layout guide work as expected ...etc.

You probably want to layout the React views when the root view / native view controller roots are resized and I expect the end effect will look quite nice.

Agree with @drkibitz that I wouldn't want to blow away the entire app when the user rotates their device and in some ways this is similar to crashing if the user loses their state. If this behavior is ok for your app I think it'd be better to keep it in your own app's code.

@siuying Please take a look at #857

Don't think it fixes #809, but it should fix #813

Yeah, this is not the right way to go. Also note that the UIExplorer app does do somewhat animated re-layout on rotation...
