App: [HOLD] [iOS] Figure out why setTimeout is needed when viewing SidebarScreen on load, replace with better solution

Action Performed:

1. Remove setTimeout from this code
2. Set isActive={true} there so the global create menu should show immediately
3. Rebuild app
4. Close app completely on iOS simulator
5. Reopen app

Expected Result:

Global create menu should show up. Since it doesn’t, we were forced to introduce a 200ms timeout here, but we want to understand why & how to remove that and still make the global create menu display when a new expensify user opens the app for the first time (unless they already have a workspace)

Actual Result:

Global create menu doesn’t show up

See @mateomorris 's tests in this comment

Workaround:

Keep the code as it is, it works but we don’t know why it’s necessary 👎
