import { useState } from 'react';
import { Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { SelectPicker } from '@elik56a/react-native-pickers';

const INTERESTS: Record<string, string[]> = {
  Sports: ['Running', 'Cycling', 'Climbing', 'Surfing'],
  Arts: ['Photography', 'Painting', 'Music', 'Film'],
  Tech: ['AI', 'Mobile', 'Web', 'Hardware'],
};

const options = Object.entries(INTERESTS).flatMap(([group, items]) =>
  items.map((label) => ({ label, value: label.toLowerCase(), group }))
);

const MAX = 3;

export default function Tags() {
  const [tags, setTags] = useState<string[]>(['climbing', 'ai']);
  return (
    <View style={{ gap: 6 }}>
      <SelectPicker
        multiple
        label="Interests"
        placeholder="Add interests"
        sheetTitle={`Pick up to ${MAX}`}
        options={options}
        value={tags}
        onChange={setTags}
        maxSelected={MAX}
        clearable
      />
      <Text style={{ fontSize: 12, color: '#6E685E' }}>{tags.length}/{MAX} selected · tap a chip to remove it</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

Behaviour

maxSelected disables the remaining options once the limit is hit; deselecting re-enables them.
Chip taps call onChange with the chip removed.
In multiple mode, × calls onChange([], []) for you.
onChange's second argument gives the full SelectOption objects, which is useful when you need labels:

onChange={(values, selected) => {
  setTags(values);
  analytics.track('Interests Changed', { labels: selected.map((o) => o.label) });
}}
