Question: How to use the latest version of this plugin for iOS?
Answer: To get latest versions of Material Components for iOS (> 112.1) you will need to change Pod min version to 10.0
To do that modify or create App_Resources/iOS/Podfile to add platform :ios, '10.0'.

Q: What is the difference between Bottom Navigation and Bottom Navigation Bar component?
A: The Bottom Navigation Bar is a new component to draw a bottom navigation bar in material design. The Bottom Navigation component is a simple extract of the eponymous component from NativeScript, which probably will be removed in the future so this one can be used for easy transition.
