Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

The error message is bunched up vertically and when the user taps on the Room name section, the highlight overlaps the error message

What is the root cause of that problem?

This caused a style precedence problem. In React Native, later styles override earlier ones.

View styles applied in order styles.w100 applied first -> Without proper style ordering, the container shrank to fit its content (avatar = 100px + margins ≈ 164px), instead of taking full available width

App/src/components/AvatarWithImagePicker.tsx

Line 232 in 42e0d2e

<View style={[styles.w100, style]}>

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should reorder styles to ensure width: '100%' takes precedence. Then add styles.alignItemsCenter to center avatar while allowing full width

        <View style={[style, styles.w100, styles.alignItemsCenter]}>
            <View style={styles.w100}>

App/src/components/AvatarWithImagePicker.tsx

Line 232 in 42e0d2e

<View style={[styles.w100, style]}>

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

@sakluger This issue can only be reproduced on native devices, so it’s very difficult to identify the bug and find a solution for it. I think keeping the original price at $250 would be more reasonable in this case. cc @Krishna2323
