Bug: formSheet corners show shimmer when app theme differs from system theme

[marcospgp]

Description

When an app uses a different theme than the system (e.g., app forces dark mode while phone is in
light mode), formSheet presentations show a visible shimmer/flash at the rounded corners during
the present/dismiss animation.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set phone to light mode
2. App forces dark mode (via in-app theme preference, not userInterfaceStyle in app.json)
3. Present a screen with presentation: "formSheet"
4. Observe white shimmer at rounded corners during animation

Expected behavior

The formSheet container should respect the app's theme, not the system theme.

Actual behavior

The formSheet container uses the system's interface style for its background. When system is
light mode but app content is dark, the light container background shows through at the rounded
corners during animation.

Root cause

UISheetPresentationController uses the system's interface style. The presented view
controller's overrideUserInterfaceStyle is not being set to match the app's theme.

Workarounds attempted (none work)

• userInterfaceStyle: "dark" in app.json - forces entire app to dark, prevents dynamic themes
• contentStyle: { backgroundColor } - doesn't affect the sheet container
• card color in React Navigation theme - doesn't affect formSheet container

Proposed fix

Set overrideUserInterfaceStyle on the presented view controller (_controller) based on a new
userInterfaceStyle prop on Screen.

• react-native-screens: 4.16.0
