Summary:
A new API to unify internal navigation. Also addresses a highly-rated community 'pain': https://productpains.com/post/react-native/better-navigator-api-and-docs/
Offers the following improvements:
- Redux-style navigation logic is easy to reason about
- Navigation state can be easily saved and restored through refreshes
- Declarative navigation views can be implemented in native or JS
- Animations and gestures are isolated and now use the Animated library

Summary:
I started working on improving the `StatusBar` API and make it work on Android. I added support for `setColor`, `setTranslucent` (the status bar is still visible but the app can draw under) and `setHidden` on Android. Looking for feedback on how to improve the API before I put more time on this :).
Right now I went for a cross platform API and functions that don't exist on a platform are just a no-op but I'm not sure it is the best choice since at the moment what is supported is very different between both platforms. I was wondering what you guys think and if it would be better off as 2 different modules.
It is also possible to port some of the features I added for Android to iOS even if there is no 'standard' way to do it. Like `setColor` could be implemented by drawing a colored view under the status bar and translucent by adding/removing some padding.

Summary:

React Native currently exposes the iOS layer shadow properties more-or-less directly, however there are a number of problems with this:
1) Performance when using these properties is poor by default. That's because iOS calculates the shadow by getting the exact pixel mask of the view, including any tranlucent content, and all of its subviews, which is very CPU and GPU-intensive.
2) The iOS shadow properties do not match the syntax or semantics of the CSS box-shadow standard, and are unlikely to be possible to implement on Android.
3) We don't expose the `layer.shadowPath` property, which is crucial to getting good performance out of layer shadows.
This diff solves problem number 1) by implementing a default `shadowPath` that matches the view border for views with an opaque background. This improves the performance of shadows by optimizing for the common usage case. I've also reinstated background color propagation for views which have shadow props - this should help ensure that this best-case scenario occurs more often.
For views with an explicit transparent background, the shadow will continue to work as it did before ( `shadowPath` will be left unset, and the shadow will be derived exactly from the pixels of the view and its subviews). This is the worst-case path for performance, however, so you should avoid it unless absolutely necessary. **Support for this may be disabled by default in future, or dropped altogether.**
For translucent images, it is suggested that you bake the shadow into the image itself, or use another mechanism to pre-generate the shadow. For text shadows, you should use the textShadow properties, which work cross-platform and have much better performance.
Problem number 2) will be solved in a future diff, possibly by renaming the iOS shadowXXX properties to boxShadowXXX, and changing the syntax and semantics to match the CSS standards.
Problem number 3) is now mostly moot, since we generate the shadowPath automatically. In future, we may provide an iOS-specific prop to set the path explicitly if there's a demand for more precise control of the shadow.

Summary:
Both iOS and Android currently support some sort of native pull to refresh control but the API was very different. I tried implementing a component based on PullToRefreshViewAndroid but that works on both platforms.
I liked the idea of wrapping the ListView or ScrollView with the PullToRefreshView component and allow styling the refresh view with platform specific props if needed. I also like the fact that 'refreshing' is a controlled prop so there is no need to keep a ref to the component or to the stopRefreshing function.
It is a pretty rough start so I'm looking for feedback and ideas to improve on the API before cleaning up everything.
On iOS we could probably deprecate the onRefreshStart property of the ScrollView and implement the native stuff in a PullToRefreshViewManager. We could then add props to customize the look of the UIRefreshControl (tintColor). We could also deprecate the Android only component and remove it later.

Summary:
It wasn't in UIExplorerList.ios.js (only in UIExplorerList.js) so it was not being pulled in on the iOS UIExplorer.

Summary: Currently, the components get registered by `UIExplorerApp.ios.js` as a side effect of requiring `UIExplorerList.ios.js`. This removes the side effect and makes the registration explicit so that it works well with inline requires.

Summary:
This freezes the app in the UIExplorer because we try to push a new view controller onto the screen before the navigator finishes loading. This was exacerbated by @tadeuzagallo's diff that made the loading even faster. Hehe
