PlatformColor and DynamicColorIOS don't work

[jacobp100]

#930 Bug

React Native 0.63 has PlatformColor and DynamicColorIOS color modes (see https://medium.com/@jacobp100/dark-mode-in-react-native-a4ac55a2a0e5)

I tried setting it on fill, color and tintColor using one of these. However, these new colors don't work

Unexpected behavior

Steps To Reproduce

No expo link due to requiring RN 0.63

No expo link due to requiring RN 0.63

Extra Info

I think tintColor should be easy to support on iOS. RCTConvert handles the new color styles, so I think we just need to remove the JS logic here. Android shouldn't be too much harder

I suspect handling this for stuff like fill will be harder

Please don't close this Mr. Stale Bot ;-) I would like to know if this is considered a bug and will be fixed or if this will stay this way so we know how to deal with this in our code-base.

I got the same problem

[henrysipp]

Same problem here, anyone have a workaround?

[iamandiradu]

Same here. Expected DynamicColorIOS({ dark: 'lightskyblue', light: 'midnightblue', }) to return 'midnightblue' or 'lightskyblue'.
It returns an object instead.
dynamic: { light: "midnightblue", dark: "lightskyblue" }

I think that return type is expected. You can import { useColorScheme } from 'react-native' if you need to read the current value of dark mode.
