Description
After upgrading to RN version 0.86.0, I cannot change the navigation bar color using <item name="android:navigationBarColor">@android:color/black</item> in android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml
I can change it programmatically in the main activity, but this will be applied only to this activity not all the created activities (ex. Modal)

Having RN version 0.86.0
Steps:
- Add
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">@android:color/black</item> inside android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml
