[Feature Request] Initialize window.rootViewController as a UINavigationController

[JonatanSalas]

Feature request

Making window.rootViewController be initialized as a UINavigationController.

Why it is needed

The 2 motivations for this change are:

• It's a burden for new-comers to interact with objective-c
• Some IOS native SDKs that integrate native view controllers need a UINavigationController for its initialization.

For e.g, MercadoPago which is a payment platform from Latam has a native SDK for IOS that needs to be initialized with a UINavigationController

Possible implementation

This change implies adding the following code in the AppDelegate:

+ UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
+ [navController setToolbarHidden:YES animated:YES];
+ [navController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];

-  self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
+ self.window.rootViewController = navController;

Code sample

Here is a working example.

Hi! Unfortunately, I will have to redirect you to the main RN repo https://github.com/facebook/react-native. This template only copies native code from RN template and adds some TS configuration. So it has to be changed over there first.
