Dear @dulmandakh, why you close this important issue without an answer?

[dulmandakh]

Sorry, themes are related to Android, not React Native, so please look into Android documentation.

[amerllica]

@Mohammad1704, For disable force dark mode you can follow this StackOverflow answer

[amerllica]

Dear @dulmandakh, this kind of behavior or answering just caused discourage and disappoint developers. actually, answering others' questions and attention to them is attention to yourself. all of us know force dark mode theme is for Android but your developers faced this new unwanted feature and a little help can help the community.

@amerllica I tried your method, but it didn't work

[amerllica]

@leoyb, that is impossible, why it didn't work? can you write about your environment?

[dulmandakh]

@amerllica you can open your project in Android Studio, then edit styles.xml to extend a theme you want to use. I closed the issue because it's not related to React Native neither resolvable in it. Sorry.

@leoyb, what is the compileSdkVersion in your android/app/build.gradle file:

android {
    compileSdkVersion ???

What is ??? for your project?

[leoyb]

@amerllica

[amerllica]

@leoyb, Use compileSdkVersion version 30, the android/app/build.gradle is ok, just change the android/build.gradle.

Please attention, at the end of my StackOverflow post, delete all last builds and catches:

Hint: For being sure that you have a new build, completely delete your last build by using the rm -rf android/app/build command and uninstall the app on your Emulator/Device and then run yarn android again.

@amerllica
According to your method, it still doesn't work

[amerllica]

@leoyb, Let me know, What does it mean _It doesn't work!_. Could you explain what's your desire and what happened what you said _It doesn't work!_. and another question, Could you upload a re-production of your project somewhere?
