  1. re: top-level SafeAreaViews – this should be avoided: https://reactnavigation.org/docs/handling-safe-area – React Navigation adds them for you automatically when needed for the navigation UI, and you should add them per-screen when needed.

    we recommend using react-native-safe-area-context for all of your safe area needs, it exports SafeAreaView and hooks like useSafeAreaInsets. read more in the docs page linked to above and once again here: https://reactnavigation.org/docs/handling-safe-area

    if anyone can provide a reproducible example for the bug that demonstrates this is a bug with expo / expo sdk i’d be happy to investigate, but closing otherwise
