any news on this or any potential work arounds?

I've tried another solution, you can use createMaterialTopTabNavigator() instead and change the tabBarPosition prop to "bottom",here is an example:

import { createMaterialTopTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/material-top-tabs';

const Tab = createMaterialTopTabNavigator();

const app= ()=>{

return(

<Tab.Navigator tabBarPosition="bottom">

<Tab.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen}/>

<Tab.Screen name="AddProposition" component={AddProposition}/>

</Tab.Navigator>

)

}

is there any news about adding transition feature with the createBottomTabNavigator in v5

Can you share some examples for what kind of transitions you want?

Or simple add a default transitions. I feel like android or ios, this should be an opacity fade in / fade out transitions for tabs. There needs to be feedback that the tab is changing.

We could also make custom tansitioner to get such functionality it has great control over this stuff.
