Do not use this repo

Maybe this was the repo of choice when React-Native started to remove their components for lean core but it was never finished and that's about 3 years ago now. The maintainer should put a deprecation notice on the top of their readme.

React Native Lean Core may have been a good idea, but not including these kinds of components in react-native-community was a huge mistake and things are kind of impossible right now if you're not using one of the big known component libraries.

Can anyone tell me what repo currently holds the de-facto picker with native components for React native?

Unfortunately I don't think there is a defacto picker library, and since expo pushes this one, I guess this is it. I agree that it is not very good. Its wild that this library was intentionally built to give a very different experience for ios users vs android users. Like, why not give the user the option for which picker they want to display in their app on both platforms? The iOS picker is nice.. but the android one is terrible. You cannot even style the modal!

We use react-native-dropdown-picker for iOS/Android and this repo for Windows

On my side it's the opposite, users hate the ios picker, yet it is the native component.

This issue is that you can't style the android one. No real business is going to want t display an ugly vanilla android modal like that when the rest of their app is themed differently. That's what I've run into, anyway.
