[React Native] Use the SafeAreaView Component in React Native for iPhone X Compatibility

In this lesson, you will learn how to use the SafeAreaView component to avoid the sensor cluster (the notch) and home activity indicator on the iPhone X.

SafeAreaView is similar to the View, just for iphone X, the screen is different from previous version. Using SafeAreaView can ensure all the content will be visible

import React from 'react';

import {

  View,

  Text,

  StyleSheet,

  SafeAreaView,

} from 'react-native';

const App = () => (

  <View style={styles.container}>

    <SafeAreaView style={styles.nav}>

      <Text style={styles.text}>Nav bar</Text>

    </SafeAreaView>

    <SafeAreaView style={styles.content}>

      <Text style={styles.textLight}>
