Summary: This fixes #19193 Characters of different languages may have different height and different baseline, even with a same font and same font-size. When they mixed together, iOS will adjust their baselines automatically, to display a suitable view of text. The problem is the behavior of dealing with the text-style property 'lineHeight'. It once to be a right way at version 0.52.3, to setting a base-line-offset attribute for the whole range of the string. However, in current version, it enumerated the string, and set a different base-line-offset for different font-height characters. And this behavior broke the baseline adjustment made by the iOS. It just make every character's baseline aligned to a same line. But it is not supposed to displaying characters of different languages like that. Chinese characters' baseline is the bottom of each, however, it is not for English characters. So maybe it is the better way to give a same value of base-line-offset attribute for the whole string. And this PR just did that: found the biggest value of font-height in the text, and calculate the offset with that biggest value, then set to the whole string. This will keep the origin baseline adjustment for different languages' chars made by iOS. Since I always got an error when running the snapshot test locally, I can't even pass the them with the unmodified code in master branch. The error is "Nesting of \<View\> within \<Text\> is not currently supported." After I comment all of the check of that error from the source code, I got a different snapshot from the reference ones. It seems that all components which will cause that error are not rendered in the reference images. Since this PR changed the behavior of 'lineHeight' property, it's better to add a new snapshot case for the situation of different-language-characters' mixture. So maybe somebody could help me with that or maybe it should be a issue?

React Native · 
Learn once, write anywhere: Build mobile apps with React.
- Build native mobile apps using JavaScript and React: React Native lets you build mobile apps using only JavaScript. It uses the same design as React, letting you compose a rich mobile UI from declarative components.
- A React Native app is a real mobile app: With React Native, you don't build a "mobile web app", an "HTML5 app", or a "hybrid app". You build a real mobile app that's indistinguishable from an app built using Objective-C, Java, or Swift. React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps. You just put those building blocks together using JavaScript and React.
- Don't waste time recompiling: React Native lets you build your app faster. Instead of recompiling, you can reload your app instantly. With hot reloading, you can even run new code while retaining your application state. Give it a try - it's a magical experience.
- Use native code when you need to: React Native combines smoothly with components written in Objective-C, Java, or Swift. It's simple to drop down to native code if you need to optimize a few aspects of your application. It's also easy to build part of your app in React Native, and part of your app using native code directly - that's how the Facebook app works.
The focus of React Native is on developer efficiency across all the platforms you care about - learn once, write anywhere. Facebook uses React Native in multiple production apps and will continue investing in React Native.
See the official React Native website for an introduction to React Native.
Supported operating systems are >= Android 4.1 (API 16) and >= iOS 9.0.
Getting Started
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
Documentation
The website’s documentation is divided into multiple sections.
- There are Guides that discuss topics like debugging, integrating with existing apps, and the gesture responder system.
- The Components section covers React components such as
ViewandButton. - The APIs section covers other libraries like Animated and StyleSheet that aren’t React components themselves.
- Finally, React Native provides a small number of Polyfills that offer web-like APIs.
Another great way to learn more about the components and APIs included with React Native is to read their source. Look under the Libraries/Components directory for components like ScrollView and TextInput, for example. The RNTester example is also here to demonstrate some of the ways to use these components. From the source you can get an accurate understanding of each component’s behavior and API.
The React Native documentation only discusses the components, APIs and topics specific to React Native (React on iOS and Android). For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
Upgrading
React Native is under active development. See the guide on upgrading React Native to keep your project up-to-date.
