Component containing the Popover is not clickable

Ok, I got it to work now. This is actually by design, a popover is just a modal contained to a smaller area so all taps are captured. You can use onClose prop to catch taps on the background. The showBackground prop just controls the background visibility, but it is always there. The showInModal prop only controls whether it is shown in a RN Modal component or shown in a JS-only view that takes over the screen in a similar manner (that may be misleading, sorry). Hopefully that clears things up, but I could explain better if needed.

As another note, it is best practice to keep the Popover component outside of the Touchable, as a sibling.

If you would like the ability to keep the popover open while having taps go through to the background, please open a new issue as a feature request, and we can discuss the feasibility of that there.

I am unable to run the snack, tried on various devices and consistently fails to launch. Can you describe more detail about what the issue is and more importantly what you expect it to do?

I apologize for the delayed response, just catching up from the holiday break still

@segalr3 I just released version 2.0.0 that includes a tooltip mode to do exactly what you were looking to do! Thanks for the idea, I hope you find it useful. Let me know if you have any issues with it.

@SteffeyDev cool! I will look into it as soon as I can!
