[Epic] Android edge2edge support
Description
This is an epic listing the tasks needed in order to bring full support for Android's edge-to-edge layout, as explained in this equivalent research issue - #7978.
This needs to be addressed!
@d4vidi have you been successful on making the status bar fully transparent? I tried using https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-edge-to-edge but the status bar seems to be always separate from the rendered Navigation component

I'm currently focused mainly on the bottom tabs. The status bar is going to be a tougher nut to crack, I believe - but we'll get there. Any suggestion /ideas in the meantime?
@d4vidi thank you for all the great efforts you’ve made so far to expedite the release of this feature. Really appreciate it!
Just few clarifications:
-
Do we have some rough timelines for fully releasing this edge-to-edge support asap?
-
What are the remaining points that need to be implemented before we can officially launch this feature on the v7.x.x releases? Are we only talking about status bar support and a few keyboard usecases that are remaining before we go live?
-
What are the related PRs to this feature that have been merged so far to review them? Are they under specific keywords or labels to filter them with?
@aattalla this is an Epic issue, have another look at the description and research issue and revisit this from time to time in order to see the updated game-plan. Hopefully that would clarify where things are and what we need from the community 🙏🏻
