Bug report

markdown
When using a physical Android device, the `onPress` event will not be fired for Victory components. This happens regardless of what containerComponent you use. In the provided snack I have used `VictoryBar` with `VictoryZoomContainer`.

The issue is not reproducible on iOS physical device, iOS simulator, or Android simulator. The issue only appears when running on a physical Android device.

Steps to reproduce

markdown
Open the snack link provided, then:
1) Run the app using the Android simulator provided on the right.
2) Tap on any bar.
3) Check console logs. All events will fire as expected.
4) Run the app using the "My Device" and use a physical Android device.
5) Tap on any bar.
6) Check console logs. `onPressIn` will fire as expected, `onPressOut` will fire immediately (unexpected), and `onPress` does not fire at all.

Expected behavior

markdown
The onPress event should be fired when user taps on the respective Victory component

Actual behavior

markdown
The onPress event does not fire at all. Furthermore, the onPressOut event fires immediately after onPressIn, instead of firing when the user releases a press

Environment
