On Android, there are three ways the bottom bar can show up:
Without any bar
In this case, the user can only navigate using gestures, and specifically edge-gestures.
With a bar, without buttons
In this case, the user can navigate using gestures, as well as gestures on that navbar. This matches iOS for the most part. Expo's current app.json allows you to style this bar, but fails to allow you to use transparent values (system insets on that bottom bar don't seem to be set). There is no way to style this bar declaritively, or imperatively without ejecting and adding another native module.
With a bar, with buttons
In this case, the user can NOT navigate using gestures, and must use the soft buttons on the screen. Expo's current app.json allows you to style this bar. IIRC witht his mode transparent values are never allowed. There is no way to style this bar declaritively, or imperatively without ejecting and adding another native module.
If I could get the expo/expo repo running on my (windows) machine, I'd write it -- but I had a pretty weird experience (both review wise as well as set-up wise) the last time I tried to contribute. Instead, I'll promise to report bugs once you'll got to it ❤️

we should definitely add a native module for this :)
