react native – Extreme White House on the Backside in iOS with SafeAreaView and KeyboardAvoidingView

I am encountering a problem with extreme white area on the backside of the display in iOS whereas utilizing SafeAreaView, KeyboardAvoidingView, and ScrollView. The format works fantastic on Android, however on iOS, there’s an undesirable clean area under the content material.

Right here’s my present implementation of the element:

import React from "react";
import { SafeAreaView } from "react-native-safe-area-context";
import {
  ScrollView,
  KeyboardAvoidingView,
  RefreshControl,
  Platform,
} from "react-native";
import { StatusBar } from "expo-status-bar";

const MainView = ({
  type,
  kids,
  fixedHeader,
  loading,
  hasRefresh = false,
  refreshing = false,
  onRefresh,
  onScroll,
  needScrollView = true,
  needTopEdge = true,
  theme,
  insets,
}) => {
  return (
    
      {fixedHeader}
      
        {needScrollView ? (
          
              ) : undefined
            }
          >
            {loading ?  : children}
          
        ) : (
          <>{loading ?  : children}>
        )}
      
      
    
  );
};

const styles = {
  safeAreaView: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: "white",
  },
  scrollViewContent: {
    flexGrow: 1,
    paddingBottom: 20, // Adding padding
  },
};

export default MainView;

#Getting same white space issue wit this code also

import { SafeAreaView, useSafeAreaInsets } from "react-native-safe-area-context";
import { StatusBar } from "expo-status-bar";
import React, { ReactNode } from "react";
import { ScrollView, StyleSheet, RefreshControl, NativeSyntheticEvent, NativeScrollEvent } from "react-native";
import { StyleProps } from "react-native-reanimated";
import { ThemedView } from "@/components/ThemedView";
import { useGlobalContext } from "@/context/GlobalProvider";
import ThemedActiveIndicator from "../themedActiveIndicator/ThemedActiveIndicator";

interface Props {
  children: React.ReactNode;
  style?: StyleProps;
  needTopEdge?: boolean;
  hasRefresh?: boolean;
  refreshing?: boolean;
  onRefresh?: () => void;
  fixedHeader?: ReactNode;
  onScroll?: (e: NativeSyntheticEvent) => void;
  loading?:boolean;
  needScrollView?:boolean;
  addBottomMargin?:boolean;
}

const MainView = ({
  children,
  style,
  needTopEdge = false,
  hasRefresh = false,
  refreshing = false,
  loading=false,
  fixedHeader,
  onScroll,
  onRefresh = () => {},
  needScrollView=true,
  addBottomMargin=false
}: Props) => {
  const { theme } = useGlobalContext();
  const inserts = useSafeAreaInsets()
  return (
    
      
        {fixedHeader}
        {needScrollView ? (
          
              ) : undefined
            }
          >
            {loading ?  : children}
          
        ) : (
          <>{loading ?  : children}>
        )}

        
      
    
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  safeAreaView: { flex: 1, padding: 0, margin: 0 },
  keyboardAvoidingView: { flex: 1 },
  scrollViewContent: { flexGrow: 1 },
});

export default React.memo(MainView);

The Problem:

On iOS:

• A large amount of white space appears at the bottom of the screen, particularly when the keyboard is dismissed.

What I’ve tried so far:

1. Adjusting keyboardVerticalOffset in KeyboardAvoidingView.
2. Adding/removing paddingBottom in contentContainerStyle of ScrollView.
3. Ensuring flexGrow: 1 is applied only where necessary.
4. Debugging with console.log(insets.bottom) to ensure safe area insets are calculated correctly.

Questions:

1. Why is this white space appearing specifically on iOS?
2. Is there a better approach to combining SafeAreaView, KeyboardAvoidingView, and ScrollView to avoid this issue?
3. Are there any platform-specific quirks or alternatives I should consider?

Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated! 😊
