Description

This PR upgrades the React Native SDK from 0.71.19 to 0.77.3 and implements Android 16KB page size compliance required for Google Play in 2025.

Major Changes

Core Upgrades

  • React Native: 0.71.19 → 0.77.3 (6 major versions)
  • React: 18.2.0 → 18.3.1
  • Android 16KB Page Size Compliance: Full support for Android 15+ devices with NDK r27 and experimental flags enabled
  • Migrated QR Scanner: Replaced deprecated react-native-camera with react-native-vision-camera 4.7.2 + ML Kit
  • Removed Flipper: Eliminated deprecated debugging tool, reducing app size and build issues

Android Modernization

  • Build Tools: AGP 8.7.2, Gradle 8.11.1, Kotlin 2.0.21, Java 17
  • SDK Levels: Min SDK 24 (Android 7.0), Target/Compile SDK 35
  • Architecture: 64-bit only (arm64-v8a, x86_64) - dropped 32-bit support
  • Package: Renamed com.rnexample → live.hms.rn
  • MainApplication: Migrated from Java to Kotlin

iOS Modernization

  • Minimum iOS: 13.0 → 16.0
  • Podfile: Updated for RN 0.77.3 compatibility with manual pod linking
  • New Architecture: Explicitly disabled (Fabric not yet supported by 100ms SDKs)

Dependency Updates

  • react-native-reanimated: 3.4.2 → 3.16.7
  • react-native-screens: 3.25.0 → 4.18.0
  • react-native-gesture-handler: 2.15.0 → 2.22.0
  • react-native-safe-area-context: 3.3.0 → 5.6.1
  • react-native-permissions: 3.4.0 → 4.1.5
  • lottie-react-native: 6.7.2 → 7.3.4
  • react-native-device-info: 11.1.0 → 14.0.0
  • @shopify/flash-list: 1.4.3 → 1.7.1
  • Added zustand 5.0.8 and patch-package 8.0.1

Build Performance

  • Enabled Gradle parallel builds and caching
  • Increased JVM memory: 4GB heap, 1GB metaspace
  • Added ProGuard rules for MediaPipe and Protobuf

Breaking Changes

⚠️ Minimum Requirements Updated:

  • Android: 7.0+ (API 24, was 5.0/API 21) - 2.6% device drop
  • iOS: 16.0+ (was 13.0) - ~5% device drop
  • 32-bit Android devices no longer supported

⚠️ API Changes:

  • QR scanning now uses VisionCamera API instead of react-native-camera

16KB Page Size Status

While the app runs correctly on 16KB devices in compatibility mode, native libraries are not yet 16KB-aligned due to current AGP/bundletool limitations. See android/16KB_PAGE_SIZE_FINDINGS.md for detailed investigation. Full compliance expected when uploading AAB to Play Store.

Testing

  • Builds successfully on Android and iOS
  • App runs on 16KB page size devices (compatibility mode)
  • QR scanning works with VisionCamera
  • All native features functional (camera, animations, video)
  • Updated example app changelog

Not sure if we need MultiDexApplication since our min API version is 24.
