🐞 Bug Report: dropdownPosition="top" not working on Android 14+

Library: react-native-element-dropdown
Version: 2.12.4
React Native version: 0.72.6
Platform: Android 14 & Android 15 (API 34+)
Devices tested: Pixel 6 Pro, Samsung S23 Ultra
Status: Reproducible
iOS: Works correctly

🧩 Issue description

When using dropdownPosition="top", the dropdown menu either:

Disappears completely, or

Appears at the very top of the screen, horizontally centered, instead of showing just above the input field.

This issue only occurs on Android 14 and Android 15.
It works fine on Android 13 and below, and on iOS.

🔍 Expected behavior

When dropdownPosition="top" is set, the dropdown list should be displayed directly above the input field, just like in Android 13 and iOS.

💥 Actual behavior

On Android 14+:

The dropdown menu appears at the top of the screen instead of above the input.

In layouts wrapped by ScrollView or KeyboardAvoidingView, the dropdown becomes invisible.

Custom maxHeight or styling has no effect.
