How to show navigation tabs in music app after user authentication

I’m working on a music streaming application and need help with implementing tab navigation that appears after users log in through social media authentication.

Currently, my app shows a simple login screen before authentication. Once users sign in with their social accounts, I want to display a tab-based interface similar to what you see in major music apps.

I’m particularly curious about whether developers typically create custom tab components that mimic the platform’s native styling, or if there are built-in navigation elements I should be using instead. The challenge I’m facing is that some content like location dropdowns and event listings don’t seem to fit the standard tab structure.

From what I understand about music app development guidelines, applications should maintain consistent navigation patterns and always have an active tab selected when using tab-based layouts.

Has anyone implemented similar authentication-triggered navigation changes? What’s the best approach to create this type of conditional tab interface?

just went thru something similar last month! ended up using react navigation’s conditional rendering based on auth state. basically wrapped my tab navigator in a check for user token - works pretty smooth. the tricky part was making sure tabs dont flicker during the transition tho
