IOS 13.0+ dark mode displays white text color for openAutocompleteModal queries on a light gray background

[Wmeng98]

Makes the text unreadable in this case. Maybe we could change the background color for the modal depending on theme to support IOS 13.0+?

Thanks!

Can confirm from a TesFlight build:
Device: iPhone XR
iOS Version: 13.1.3

Looking into things, the SDK for IOS provides properties for controlling display colour, to further @Wmeng98's suggestion, would it make sense to allow control of these properties through the options provided to openAutocompleteModal
ref properties: https://developers.google.com/places/ios-sdk/reference/interface_g_m_s_autocomplete_view_controller.html#properties
Thoughts @tolu360?

Ive been playing around with a solution and am happy to submit PR if it makes sense, though it would be IOS only options as (to my knowledge) the android side would need a custom layout to apply this kind of control.

Happy to PR if it makes sense to add this feature.

Can we please have either #267 or #274 merged?

@tolu360 please look at merging either #267 or #274, changes helpful for dark-mode on iOS 13+

What is the status of this issue? Has the PR been merged? Because I'm having the same issue even with the latest version

@MarcoSpeziali looks like it's stuck. But you can use https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package, a great tool for patching your node_modules dependencies. Here is a video with a usage example.

Based on this answer, steps to fix

1. Open XCode
2. Find the file RNGooglePlacesViewController
3. Add this to line 38 directly below GMSAutocompleteViewController *viewController = [[GMSAutocompleteViewController alloc] init];
   It should look like
   

        if(UIScreen.mainScreen.traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle == UIUserInterfaceStyleDark ){
            viewController.primaryTextColor = UIColor.whiteColor;
            viewController.secondaryTextColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor;
            viewController.tableCellSeparatorColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor;
            viewController.tableCellBackgroundColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor;
        } else {
            viewController.primaryTextColor = UIColor.blackColor;
            viewController.secondaryTextColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor;
            viewController.tableCellSeparatorColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor;
            viewController.tableCellBackgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor;
        }
    }```
