SafeAreaView component from react native library deprecated.

[FillipeDiord]

Description

The SafeAreaView component from the core react-native library has been deprecated in recent versions. The recommended approach is to use SafeAreaView from the react-native-safe-area-context package, which provides more robust and up-to-date support for safe areas across different devices and screen configurations.

This deprecation may lead to warnings or unexpected layout behavior when using react-native-dropdown-picker, especially on devices with notches, rounded corners, or navigation bars.

Proposal

Update the library to replace the deprecated SafeAreaView from react-native with the one from react-native-safe-area-context. This change will improve compatibility with current React Native versions and ensure proper handling of safe areas.
