How to effectively disable Dark Mode theming in Nativescript?

Question

I tried to add

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

to App_Resources/iOS/Info.plist

But the app still is with dark mode, even after rebuilding it and deleting hooks, node_modules and platforms.

I'm using tns preview --bundle.

Not sure what can be happening with your code but it is really supposed to work. I have been using it until last update (when we finally had time to handle dark mode).

You should also be able to force light mode with

import Theme from "@nativescript/theme";

Theme.setMode(Theme.Light);

Answer 2

In addition to the plist I did (with Nativescript theme installed)

Page class="ns-light"

Worked for me on iOS 13.1
