[BUG]: Can't turn off dark mode on android

[zhenguet]

react-native environment setup

• [X] I verified that I have not react-native-cli installed globally and be up to date about the React Native environment setup.

Description

I have tried many ways to turn off dark mode on Android.

It's working well on some apps I have written.

But now it's not working on my project, which uses React-native boilerplate

    "react": "18.0.0",
    "react-native": "0.69.3",

I follow this to turn off darkmode.

in styles.xml

<!-- Base application theme. -->
  <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="android:textColor">#4d4d4d</item>
    <item name="android:forceDarkAllowed">false</item>
  </style>

in AndroidMainfest.xml

<application
    android:name=".MainApplication"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:allowBackup="false"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:forceDarkAllowed="false"
  >
...
</application>

I don't really understand what you are trying to do. You want to block, by a native way, the darkMode UI of the app ?
