### Steps to reproduce
### **Steps to Reproduce**
Install react-native-bottom-tabs in a React Native project with Xcode 16.4+
Build iOS project
Observe compilation fails with Swift errors
**Expected Behavior**
The project should compile successfully without Swift type inference errors.
**Actual Behavior**
Compilation fails with the following Swift compiler errors:
```
❌ (node_modules/react-native-bottom-tabs/ios/TabView/NewTabView.swift:100:4)
100 | @Environment(\.tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement) var tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement
| ^ generic parameter 'T' could not be inferred
❌ (node_modules/react-native-bottom-tabs/ios/TabView/NewTabView.swift:100:16)
100 | @Environment(\.tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement) var tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement
| ^ cannot infer key path type from context; consider explicitly specifying a root type
```
### **Code Location**
```
The error occurs in node_modules/react-native-bottom-tabs/ios/TabView/NewTabView.swift, lines 98-103:
swift
@available(iOS 26.0, *)
struct BottomAccessoryRepresentableView: PlatformViewRepresentable {
@Environment(\.tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement) var tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement // Line 100
var view: PlatformView
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> PlatformView {
// ...
}
}
```
### Note from the reporter:
I'm not very familiar with Swift/SwiftUI development, so I don't know what more to provide here. I'm happy to provide more details, logs, or help test any proposed solutions to resolve this issue!
