Research direction

Investigate the iOS native implementation of animateTransform in react native svg. Compare with Android implementation to identify missing handling. Check the SVG parsing code in iOS (likely in RNSVG) to ensure the animateTransform element is recognized and animation is triggered. Review comments and linked issues for any known workarounds or fixes.
