`headerTransparent: false` in embedded stack adds white area at bottom of screen on iOS 26 and ipadOS >= 18

[johankasperi]

This issue seems to still exist? Testing in 0.9.0 and when adding headerTransparent: false in the headerOptions in NativeBottomTabsEmbeddedStacks I'm seeing the same white space on ipadOS 18.

In 0.9.0 ignoresTopSafeAreaTop is also removed so unable to get the "smaller" white space.

In original closed issue it said it should be fixed "without SafeAreaView", what does that mean? Thank you!

Unfortunately this looks quite bad on iOS 26. @okwasniewski or @johankasperi, perhaps we can update the title to include iOS? Just thinking about reducing new threads as people start to test their apps with iOS 26 support.

I can confirm simply changing headerLargeTitle to false will replicate the issue

react-native-bottom-tabs/apps/example/src/Examples/NativeBottomTabsEmbeddedStacks.tsx

Line 10 in d765b1f

headerLargeTitle: true,

After changing to false

Yeah I saw the same issue when testing iOS 26, just forgot to mention it here. I can update the title. Thank you!
