App: [HOLD for payment 2024-01-24] [$500] Upgrade react-native to 0.73+
Problem
There are two problems that significantly affect us with the current version of react-native we’re using:
TL;DR: animations done using RN’s Animated skip changing the shadow tree, which is used to calculate hit regions of views, so animating a pressable will move the view itself, but not its hitbox
which is fixed by https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/37836 in 0.73+
Second, there’s a very painful delay on starting the android app with npm run android due to a bug in the react-native cli, that’s fixed in 0.72.7+
Solution
Upgrade to the latest react-native RC version ASAP.
