'React Navigation (native): Overflow visible not working on custom header
I'm implementing a custom header for @react-navigation/native-stack. Using React Navigation v6.
One of the elements within the custom header has a native shadow on iOS added (via the style prop). The shadow is a tad bigger than the header and unfortunately, I can't get it to display beyond the boundaries of the header. Of course, I've tried using overflow: visible on basically every component in the tree, but no success. The shadow is clipped off:

Here's my custom header:
function CustomHeader(props: NativeStackHeaderProps) {
const { options, route, navigation } = props;
const insets = useSafeAreaInsets();
const headerHeight = Helpers.getHeaderHeight(insets);
return (
<View style={{
height: headerHeight,
paddingTop: insets.top,
width: '100%',
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'row',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
paddingLeft: 20,
paddingRight: 20,
overflow: 'visible',
}}
>
<View style={{
flex: 1, display: 'flex', alignItems: 'flex-start',
}}
>
{ options.headerLeft ? options.headerLeft({ canGoBack: false }) : (
<TouchableOpacity
onPress={() => route.name === 'Home'
? null
: navigation.reset({ index: 0, routes: [{ name: 'Home' }] })}
>
<Image
style={{ width: Sizing.logo, height: Sizing.logo }}
source={Logo}
/>
</TouchableOpacity>
)}
</View>
<Text style={{
textAlign: 'center', color: Colors.purple,
}}
>
{(options.title || route.name).toUpperCase()}
</Text>
<View style={{
flex: 1, display: 'flex', alignItems: 'flex-end', overflow: 'visible',
}}
>
{ options.headerRight ? options.headerRight({ canGoBack: false }) : null}
</View>
</View>
);
}
The button on the right with the shadow is passed in through the headerRight option and contains this shadow style:
nativeShadow: {
shadowColor: Colors.gray,
shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 8 },
shadowRadius: Colors.shadows.gray.distance,
shadowOpacity: 0.5,
},
Any idea what I could try next? I don't want to increase the headers' height since this would break the layout elsewhere.
