React native 0.75 support (removed android.support)

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch react-native-splash-screen@3.3.0 for the project I'm working on.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

diff --git a/node_modules/react-native-splash-screen/android/build.gradle b/node_modules/react-native-splash-screen/android/build.gradle

 }

This issue body was partially generated by patch-package.

@SolankiYogesh3500 how did you import the SplashScreen class in the MainActivity.kt file?

I get this:

BUILD FAILED in 844ms
error Failed to install the app. Command failed with exit code 1: ./gradlew app:installDebug -PreactNativeDevServerPort=8081
e: file:///Users/me/myapp/android/app/src/main/java/com/myapp/MainActivity.kt:8:34 Unresolved reference: Splashscreen
e: file:///Users/me/myapp/android/app/src/main/java/com/myapp/MainActivity.kt:19:5 Unresolved reference: SplashScreen FAILURE: Build completed with 2 failures. 1: Task failed with an exception.

i keep getting force close event i change the node_modules,

this patch works

Also used the patch to avoid com.android.support and androidX duplicated classes when upgrading to react-native 0.75.1

same here . . the patch does not work in RN 0.79.1

This worked partially for me. I was getting androidX duplicated classes error when i upgraded to react-native 0.77.2. With this patch i was able to build on android but the app closes right after oppened.

Crazy.. The patch worked, I have successfully built the app WITHOUT Jetifier. No issue on app start.

React Native 0.81.0
NewArch disabled (for now at least; another lib is crashing, sigh..)
