React-native: [IOS] Improve DatePickerIOS style

[KarlosQ]

DatePickerIOS doesn't have a editable style.

this pull resquest is 'merged'
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/10356
but it isn't in the master

It would be good to be able to control the fontFamily, fontSize.. etc

In DatePickerIOS.ios.js maybe must have a stylePicker for a height control ...etc.
One solution would be to put a property like stylePicker:
style={[styles.datePickerIOS, props.stylePicker]}

Would any charitable, caring soul be able to implement this? Thanks! 👍

That pull request was closed because it used private APIs that would cause rejection in the app store. Do you know if it can be done with public UIKit APIs?

I vote to reopen this issue. My team now has to manually implement a date picker with different text color than the default using regular Picker components. We just need to be able to control simple styling aspects like text color, font size, font family, all that good stuff, thanks.

Is there any ability to replace standard RCDatePickerManager.m with my edited version via DI or something else?
It's not ok to edit files inside ReactNative lib directory.
There is really small documentation about DI that contains no explanation and use cases.

This really is a pain.
