Update configuration for the new architecture

[j-piasecki]

This PR:

• updates podspec, so that React Native will be responsible for installing relevant dependencies (see https://reactnative.dev/docs/new-architecture-library-ios#add-folly-and-other-dependencies)
• updated build.gradle:
  • removed conditional React Native implementation, since starting with 0.71 RN is shipping as pre-built libraries and relevant substitution is done by RNGP
  • removed the react block, since RNGP resolves the paths by default (see https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/com/facebook/react/ReactExtension.kt) and other fields are provided in package.json
• updated codegenConfig in package.json to match the new config schema (see https://reactnative.dev/docs/new-architecture-library-intro#configure-codegen`

This PR makes the library no longer support RN below 0.71 on the new architecture.

Thanks for your PR! I take it this is a breaking change? Any way to keep backwards compatibility?

[oblador]

Btw, looking into why tests are failing. It seems some flipper dependency got deleted from the registry: samdenty/console-feed#124

[j-piasecki]

Yes, it's breaking but only for the new architecture.
As for keeping backward compatibility:

• for the podspec change, it's not necessary, and dependencies can be listed manually, however if something is added/removed in future it could cause problems
• conditional react-native implementation in build.gradle can be kept but requires some gradle tricks to figure out what version of RN is used in the app, but there are some edge-cases with monorepos
• removal of react block from build.gradle should be non-breaking
• schema used currently for codegenConfig is still supported, although I don't know whether it's going to be removed

Since on new arch we drop the support for the older versions in the rest of the libraries, I think it is safe to do it here also.

[oblador]

Yeah, if it's only new arch I'm fine with it 👍

Was a lot of work, but finally resolved the dependency and updated to RN 0.72. Would you mind rebasing and also enabling new arch?
