[ BUG ] ThemeToggle not changing on press

[Dave-Wagner]

Describe the bug
Using an unmodified (other than running through a tunnel and removing --ios from the Dev script) base starter, the ThemeToggle at the top right does absolutely nothing. If I had to guess it is only paying attention to the system default, in my case dark mode.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the init from the CLI and create a new Starter Base
2. Run with 'bun dev' and open in Expo Go
3. Click on 'MoonStar Icon'
4. Theme does not toggle
5. Note: It does work on the web version

Expected behavior
I expect the theme to switch between light and dark mode on press

Platform (please complete the following information):

• Type: Device
• OS: Android (Expo Go)

Do you have "userInterfaceStyle": "automatic" in your app.json?

Otherwise, can you please provide a minimal reproduction repo?

[Dave-Wagner]

Yes, as you can see from the minimal reproduction repo I linked to in the original post.

edit: Oops, I hadn't heard a reply for a while so I went ahead and started a new repo with the same name, not using this library. Let me set up a new one following the directions and get back to you.

I should point out that I am specifically using Expo Go, not the Android emulator, however, even create an EAS build using an APK I have the same problem on device. I am using a Google Pixel 9.

Edit: I just ran it on the Emulator in Windows and it works as expected. Perhaps it has to do with the version of Android on my Pixel 9.

Why complete this issue? It's clearly not resolved. There is clearly an issue,. It should be addressed.

Would you be able to try it on an actual device? I'm wondering if it's only a bug there.

For reference, I have a samsung s23 and have the same issue using Expo Go or the full on development apk. The theme only changes when I change my phone's light/dark mode settings.
