React Native Paper — contributor

Why it mattered

Most of my contributions here came from hitting a wall in my own apps: a button that force-uppercased its label, a Searchbar whose clear icon couldn't be swapped, an Appbar title that wasn't tappable. Each one became a prop rather than a workaround.

Code contributions

• Added `uppercase` control for button text case and `onPress` on Appbar.Content
• Custom clear icon for Searchbar, plus a keyboard-avoiding fix in the example app
• Moved CI to Node 18 and trimmed image assets to clear Expo CLI warnings
