      {time: '12:00', title: 'Custom rendered icon', icon: <Image
      style={{width: 20, height: 20}}
      source={{uri: 'https://reactnative.dev/img/tiny_logo.png'}}
    />},
      ...
    ]
  }

Shift problem

Text width of event time may not be the same.

fix by add 'minWidth' in 'timeContainerStyle' to appropriate value

render(){
    return(
        <Timeline
          //..other props
          timeContainerStyle={{minWidth:72}}
        />
    )
}

Timeline is rendered, but not displayed until scroll

fix by add removeClippedSubviews: false into options

render(){
    return(
        <Timeline
          //..other props
          options={{
            removeClippedSubviews: false
          }}
        />
    )
}
