This commit solves the problem described in detail in issue #15606, but in
essence, it fixes the clear icon by integrating rudimentary support for SVG
icons.
Fixes https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/issues/15606
- Hopefully, if SVG icons prove to be a solid solution, we can easily and
progressively migrate PNG icons to SVGs, but for the moment, it was aligned
with @flexsurfer
https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/issues/15606#issuecomment-1514631270
that we'll only use SVG icons on demand.
- Note that it's possible to import SVGs directly via js/require by installing
the library react-native-svg-transformer, but this approach is only good when
we don't want/need color customization, which is rarely the case with icons
where we want to change the foreground and/or background colors. I opted for
rendering the SVG icon as hiccup to support color customization.
- Since icons are fully memoized, the app's performance is on the same ballpark
as PNGs rendered with RN Image.
- It's possible to trim down SVGs by using a tool such as
https://github.com/svg/svgo, but this is obviously outside the scope of this
PR.
