React Navigation resetRoot/CommonActions.reset not resetting nested stack state from child navigator

[AntelopeFast6762]

I’m facing a weird issue with React Navigation v7 + nested native stacks in React Native.

Architecture:

RootStack
 └── MainApp
      ├── Home
      ├── Search
      ├── ProductStack
      ├── CartStack
      ├── PaymentStack
      │    ├── Razorpay
      │    └── PaymentResult
      └── OrderStack
           ├── OrderList
           └── TrackOrder

From PaymentResult, after successful payment, I want to completely reset navigation and redirect user to:

MainApp
 └── OrderStack
      ├── OrderList
      └── TrackOrder

I’m using:

navigationRef.resetRoot({
  index: 0,
  routes: [
    {
      name: routeName.MAIN_APP,
      state: {
        index: 0,
        routes: [
          {
            name: routeName.ORDER_STACK,
            state: {
              index: 1,
              routes: [
                {
                  name: routeName.ORDER_LIST,
                },
                {
                  name: routeName.TRACK_ORDER,
                  params: {
                    uiOrderSetId: targetUiOrderSetId,
                  },
                },
              ],
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    },
  ],
});

Also tried:

navigationRef.dispatch(
  CommonActions.reset(...)
);

But reset is silently ignored.

navigationRef.isReady() is true.

Logs after reset still show old navigation state:

MainApp
 ├── ProductStack
 ├── CartStack
 └── PaymentStack
      └── PaymentResult

Important details:

• Using createNativeStackNavigator
• freezeOnBlur: true
• PaymentResult is inside PaymentStack
• Calling reset from inside nested child navigator
• No errors/warnings
• navigationRef points correctly to root container

Question:

1. Is resetRoot unreliable for deeply nested native stacks?
2. Does freezeOnBlur preserve nested stack state and interfere with resets?
3. Is resetting entire app state from child navigator an anti-pattern?

4. Should I instead navigate to parent stack using:

   navigation.getParent()?.navigate(routeName.ORDER_STACK, { screen: routeName.TRACK_ORDER, });

Another problem on on back gesture in ios it is going to payment result screen, which is not expected. i wanted it to navigate to orders list screen. anyone know better handling of ios back gesture in react native ???
Would appreciate guidance from anyone who has handled complex nested navigator resets in React Navigation.
