iOS Status Bar Error

Hi, @AlirezaHadjar, thanks for submitting the issue! Yeah, this is definitely not correct to require configuring this prop while using Screen Transition API 😅 We'll look onto that, thanks!

I've investigated this PR quite a bit and I see that this error is caused by this line - https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-screens/blob/main/src/native-stack/views/NativeStackView.tsx#L310
Since we want to also rely on theme from React Navigation, we're depending on the value returned from ThemeContext. This is wrong approach, since on native side we're checking if this value has been set - if so, we're throwing an error if UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance is set to <false />. We've got some idea how can we fix that error, but the solution is not ready yet.

Side note:
Setting UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to true fixes the issue. But I'm not sure this is the correct way of fixing this since some libraries such as react-native-bars require setting UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to false
