UI Kitten discussion akveo/react-native-ui-kitten#657

I based my project off Kitten Tricks, and have gotten so comfortable with class based components. It was my very first React project so I might be lacking understanding of something; I'm curious why did you guys suddenly choose to switch to functional components and hooks?

@sudomann thanks for the interest. We try keeping this application trending and up-to-date. Functional components and hooks in today's state of React and React Native is something you should not avoid.

Actually, I've found that it's not caused by something new from the recent refactor of the app. I discovered the issue above after I switched system display theme to see the app switch theme but instead it suddenly disappeared.

Turns out this issue already existed with the previous Kitten Tricks release, I just never noticed it. Tested with a new simple app using ui-kitten and saw the same issue. It seems to affect Android only.

I suspect it's similar to what causes this as well:

@sudomann I've got this fixed in #261 (your main component should also include AppearanceProvider if you're using react-native-appearance). Also, let's keep this issue clean and used for feedbacks. I'm going to delete this conversation soon.

Thanks for reporting!

This wonderful project is limited by expo. too many issues after ejecting from expo

[artyorsh]

@kuasha420 because you don't need to do this as it is already ejected and can be runnable in both react-native and expo environments.

OH SHIT THEN DID THAT HAPPEN!! I retract my statement. As I said, It's an wonderful and very modern UI Kit for React Native. I thank you guys wholeheartedly for making it available.
