Looks good!
I added some comments, it may look a lot but it's because the PR is a bit big..
Some more general comments:

Some of the comments I wrote general and not specific only to the place I added them, so please re-review the whole PR when fixing.
Please run yarn tsc to verify the typescript is ok
Please add api.json file for the docs.
In general theres no need to pass default values, you get them by default :)
Please add render tests, you can see references in other components.
When adding text + image + button, on a stretch case in the example screen, the result is not so good, see the image:

After making some mess with git history due to the new pre-push check that denied my branch name, I've managed to do it properly.

the new commits start from 'apply small fixes due to PR comments, move types to different file'.

I've left replies to some comments due to things I wasn't sure about.

Here's what was added in the recent commits here -

small changes due to PR comments
moved keyboard hoisting from useKeyboardHeight hook with to KeyboardAccessibilityView for better visuals as you suggested.
added 5 sizes of gradient into assets folder
added a template of docs api.json file, still need to finish it by uploading examples to the media platform
added render tests
moved types into a separate file
found multiple bugs on android that needed addressing, so hopefully fixed them here (sticky still pushed footer on top of keyboard, hoisted + solid caused the background to render on top of footer etc.)

this was quite a lot and I still miss some work on the docs part, but let me know what you think overall.

lidord-wix

Looks really good overall, good job 🙂
I replied and added some small comments, please also see bullet 6 in my last review comment (still looks the same)

I've replied to the comments left. Let me know what you think.

By the way, have you gone over the changes made in the 'android bug fixes' commit? I've done some code re-writing there due to specific Android-only bugs, just wanna make sure it didn't go over you and that the code there is fine.

And regarding bullet 6 - I think I did fix it, will attach here the current look of the stretch + icon, text Footer, where as the previous worse version can be seen at this page too.

It now centeres each item properly, it does make sense that the icon won't be completely centered since the button and text are bigger and wider, pretty sure that's more similar to what Alexey has showed in the desired behavior.

-      const flexStyle = itemsFit === ItemsFit.STRETCH ? {flex: 1, alignItems: 'center'} : {flexShrink: 1};
+      const flexStyle = itemsFit === ItemsFit.STRETCH 
+        ? {flex: 1, minWidth: 0, alignItems: 'center'} 
+        : {flexShrink: 1};


adding a minWidth prop here to the stretched layout improved the correct division of the container between the items, seems like the button having a certain minWidth caused it to catch more unwanted space

Looks good! 🎉 👏🏽
Approved with a small comment, feel free to merge once fixed :)

+  stretchItemWrapper: {
+    flexDirection: 'row',
+    flex: 1,
+    justifyContent: 'center'
+  },


you can use modifiers instead this style, also I think you don't need the "row"

it's actually necessary - the stretch happens due to the default alignItems: 'stretch', and to not ruin this stretch I needed to kind of cheat it by combining row+justifyContent: center, which caused effect of alignItems: center without overriding the alignItems: stretch.

let me know if I'm missing something though.

Oh, ok 👍🏽

but still I think you can move to modifiers :)

yotam-wix · 2026-02-08T15:56:03Z

@lidord-wix
I think I managed to fix the issue we had by using react-native-safe-area-context as suggested.
I also tried to sort out the issue of the padding remaining when hoisting is activated and a keyboard is open by using UseKeyboardHeight(). let me know if it looks ok.

also, my build fails for some reason due to it not finding the react-native-safe-area-context module?

lidord-wix

Please see the comments
regarding the build - I see you wasn't on the latest master, I pulled, please re check 🙏🏽

please see the usage of useSafeAreaInsets in the tabController component, when using a native dependency in one of our components, we're doing it optionally for the users, so if they don't use this component they don't have to install it

I think we don't need the useSafeArea prop anymore, the native control the heights
