@mfazekas since ReadableArray is now optional: https://reactnative.dev/blog/2025/01/21/version-0.77#android several changes needs to take place. How we should proceed from here?

On package.json the minimum version "react-native": ">=0.59.9", is this still possible 🤔 ? What is the minimum react-native version supported? Asking because LayoutShadowNode was introduced on [email protected] and it's a requirement on 0.77.

@efstathiosntonas thanks much for looking into it. We can bump and should bump min version to 0.72.

@efstathiosntonas question, have you reread those generated code with 0.77? Or you've modified the code by hand?

[efstathiosntonas]

Yes, I've modified by hand and tested them on my app while running 0.77.

The logs from them linked issue are half way there, if you get past these errors then the errors about BaseViewManagerInterface start to kick in.

@mfazekas I would like your help in fixing the optional ReadableArray, the logs from the linked issue got all the info we need. Can you pleaaaaaaase pick up from here?

[efstathiosntonas]

@mfazekas if you're wondering where the delegators changes came from, all major libraries have applied them to support 0.77, eg. svg

@mfazekas in the latest commit: 9e33682 I've aligned with optional ReadableArray. Please note that the changes are the ones suggested by Android Studio. I've appied the changes withpatch-package on my project/app and it builds fine on 0.77.
