Recreating react native Disabling dark mode not working (ios)

Question

I am trying to prevent app from using dark mode because text becomes white on a white background

These solution for darkmode have not worked for me:

I add this to my Info.plist file: (this does nothing)

    <key>UIUserInterfaceStyle</key>
    <string>Light</string>

I tried this in my AppDelegate.m: (give me build errors)

    if (@available(iOS 13.0, *)) {
        rootView.overrideUserInterfaceStyle = UIUserInterfaceStyleLight;
    }

Instead of rootView you should use self.window. I fixed it this way:

if (@available(iOS 13, *)) {
    self.window.overrideUserInterfaceStyle = UIUserInterfaceStyleLight;
}

4 steps to solve this issue if you are using object c.

<key>UIUserInterfaceStyle</key> 
<string>Light</string>

  [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
  if (@available(iOS 13, *)) {
     self.window.overrideUserInterfaceStyle = UIUserInterfaceStyleLight;
  }
