Pull request overview
Updates the repo and example apps to support React Native 0.86 (rc), including dependency bumps and an iOS-native event dispatch change to avoid calling into non-callable JS modules on Fabric-only RN 0.86+.
Changes:
- Bump React Native (and related tooling) to
0.86.0-rc.0in the library dev setup andbasic-example. - Update iOS native animated event delivery to go through the event dispatcher’s observer pathway (instead of JS-facing direct events).
- Refresh lockfiles (Yarn + CocoaPods) for the upgraded dependency graph.
