Android windowTranslucentNavigation makes LogBox appear below the navbar

[fo2rist]

Description

When windowTranslucentNavigation is set to true LogBox appears below the navigation bar.

Context: There was a similar bug report before but the resolution PR did not address the issue with positioning but rather overrode the translucency flag. A fix would change the bottom margin of LogBox according to the safe area insets.

Quick and dirty fix using patch-package:

I'm just changing the bottom style to a fixed number of 50 on android. Could be more advanced like getting the height of the navigation bar or something but this works like a charm.
