Bump react version

[Phil9l]

Update react to make it compatible with a new expo version.

Should fix #972.

Came across this too as I noticed React 19 is currently not supported and was looking if there were any existing PRs.

Is bumping the package.json file the only thing needed? Also, looks like some CI builds are failing. Were you able to get this running locally?

why this is PR not merged yet because the package does not work properly with RN 0.79 on Android

Yeah, but does this PR actually work/fix the issue?

Looks like one of the CI builds failed because the 'package-lock.json' isn't in sync. That would at least need to be addressed. But I'm not sure if there's any thing else that may have been missed.

I suppose if time allows I could try running locally and seeing if the PR does indeed work.

Not the maintainer, but also interested in seeing React 19 compatibility resolved
