fix(ios): load initial tab when onSwitchToTab mode is set. (#7924)

Setting the initial tab index before the initialization doesn't work, since it resets to the default value (0) after initializing the tab bar controller. It also seems that it loads the default child from index 0 regardless of setting it a default. I tried to workaround this from different steps in the lifecycle of the controller but looks like there's a native issue there.
