Theme change event

[kopach]

Hi @DavidBriglio. Thanks for this cool plugin. I have feature suggestion :). Do you think, it could be possible to listen for some OS theme change event (or system configuration change, not sure) and broadcast it to JavaScript? Basically, I need to listen for dark mode change in my app in order to dynamically apply dark/light theme on OS theme change. What I did so far (as workaround) – is checking (via this plugin) what is the OS color schema every some time however I would like to avoid that.

Hello @kopach thanks for using my plugin! This is a great idea and if it is possible I would like to implement it. After doing
some preliminary research I have found these resources:

Android: (onConfigurationChange)
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity#configuration-changes

iOS:

Keep in mind that this will only work if your app is running, otherwise it cannot receive the event. Having a check when launching your app will still be required.

Sorry for the delay @kopach I have not yet explored this issue further.
