Feat: Add support for React Native 0.77

[quocluongha]

React Native 0.77 has remove BackHandler.removeEventListener in #44d6194, and it causes app to crash when upgrading to version 0.77.

I updated the code with useRef to store subscription returned by BackHandler.addEventListener and replace BackHandler.removeEventListener with the remove method of the subscription.

As stated in this old commit #2596b2f. There should be remove method in the returned subscription in previous React Native version, so it won't affect old React Native version.

Any ideas when this will be merged and released? I am facing the same issue after updating to RN 0.77

Any update on this?

[akash3gtm]

We will test it and then see how to proceed from this, we might need to change some other libraries and also check the support from react-native-web.
For the time being, if its a tight schedule, you can manually create a patch for @react-native-aria/interactions and run it locally.

Facing the same issue should be merged soon.

[akash3gtm]

This will take some time even though the proposed changes are correct.

• our whole dev mode is made on react native older versions
• if we merge this right now, even though the user's will not face any issue, the dev mode of our repository will break
• this will be merged when the complete development mode is upgraded to react native 0.77

Yeah. Same here

[kamlesh-tp]

Can we somehow make it conditional? Like if removeListener is available then use that otherwise use the new way?

[quocluongha]

@kamlesh-tp I think it is unnescessary to make it conditional.
If you look at this commit #44d6194, they removed BackHandler.removeEventListener because there has already a remove method in the subsciption returned by BackHandler.addEventListener in this commit #2596b2f for almost 3 years.

This is being worked in PR 2744
