React-native-gifted-chat: Using bottomOffset with Tabs

[indivisable]

Hello I am using the Gifted chat with react-native-navigation and cannot seem to get it working with when using Tabs and a fixed bottom offset. I have tried a bunch of things and cannot seem to fix it. Here is exact issue:

Anyone have know a workaround for this?

@indivisable I too am experiencing this same problem, did you ever find a solution?

Had the same issue and setting bottomOffset={48.5} (in my case, tabbar has the height of 48.5) fixed it for me. Maybe this helps

WIth a TabNavigator i'm actually using

<GiftedChat
    messages={messages}
    user={{ _id: 1 }}
    onSend={this.onSend}
    bottomOffset={Platform.OS === "ios" && 48.5}
/>
{Platform.OS === "android" && (
 <KeyboardAvoidingView behavior="padding" />
)}

to support both iOS & Android. working well so far.
