This PR fixes an issue where setting ProxyViewContainer.hidden = true did not hide its child views.

Problem

ProxyViewContainer is a virtual container that does not create a native view.
As a result, toggling its hidden property had no visible effect — its child views remained visible.

Solution

Override the hidden property to propagate the hidden state to all child views:

public set hidden(value: boolean) {
super.hidden = value;
this.eachChildView((child) => {
child.hidden = value;
return true;
});
}

What made you use this property? I don't recall any hidden property in the View API.
These changes are wrong as we use visibility to perform such an action.

We have hidden as well. The changes look accurate, had to adjust few things but it just ensures when using it on proxy that it’s children we marked hidden since proxy is not a native view itself.

That's my bad, thanks for the correction @NathanWalker!

@KL2400040448 @NathanWalker Instead of meddling with the property like this, maybe we can add an event listener for it.

function onHiddenPropertyChange(args: EventData) {
	const view = args.object as ProxyViewContainer;

	view.eachChildView((child) => {
		child.hidden = view.hidden;
		return true;
	});
}

@CSSType('ProxyViewContainer')
export class ProxyViewContainer extends LayoutBase {
	private proxiedLayoutProperties = new Set<string>();

	constructor() {
		super();
		this.nativeViewProtected = undefined;
		this.on('hiddenProperty', onHiddenPropertyChange);
	}
	...
}

This isn't as hackish as current solution and doesn't need ignore comments.
One thing I don't know is if these events are emitted in ProxyViewContainer just like the rest of views.

✅ Rebased and resolved merge conflict.
The ProxyViewContainer.hidden logic now properly hides all child views without using @ts-ignore.
Tested and ready for review. Thanks @NathanWalker 🙌

Hi @NathanWalker 👋
The PR is approved and cleanly merged with main.
The failing Android/iOS tests seem to be CI environment issues (core:build exited with code 130).
Could you please re-run or merge when convenient? 🙏
