[Android] Add support for RN 0.72.6

[sorinrinse]

Currently, building this library on Android fails on new and old projects.

On new projects it crashes with the following error:

* Where:
Build file '<path>/Projects/AwesomeProject/node_modules/react-native-capture/android/build.gradle' line: 111

A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-capture'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':react-native-capture:implementation'.
   > Could not resolve com.facebook.react:react-native:+.
     Required by:
         project :react-native-capture
      > Cannot choose between the following variants of com.facebook.react:react-android:0.72.6:
          - debugVariantDefaultRuntimePublication
          - releaseVariantDefaultRuntimePublication
        All of them match the consumer attributes:
          - Variant 'debugVariantDefaultRuntimePublication' capability com.facebook.react:react-android:0.72.6:
              - Unmatched attributes:
                  - Provides com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr 'debug' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Provides org.gradle.category 'library' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Provides org.gradle.dependency.bundling 'external' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Provides org.gradle.libraryelements 'aar' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Provides org.gradle.status 'release' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Provides org.gradle.usage 'java-runtime' but the consumer didn't ask for it
          - Variant 'releaseVariantDefaultRuntimePublication' capability com.facebook.react:react-android:0.72.6:
              - Unmatched attributes:
                  - Provides com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr 'release' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Provides org.gradle.category 'library' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Provides org.gradle.dependency.bundling 'external' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Provides org.gradle.libraryelements 'aar' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Provides org.gradle.status 'release' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Provides org.gradle.usage 'java-runtime' but the consumer didn't ask for it

On old projects (upgraded from 1.3.0 to 1.4.17), the same task (androidSourcesJar) fails with the following error:

A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-capture'.
> Could not set unknown property 'classifier' for task ':react-native-capture:androidSourcesJar' of type org.gradle.api.tasks.bundling.Jar

I ran into this as well have applied this patch to make it work

Additionally, I'll note that the following is required in your app/build.gradle 's dependencies:

implementation(files("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native-capture/android/libs/capture-1.6.15.jar"))
implementation(files("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native-capture/android/libs/capture-common-1.6.15.jar"))

@sorinrinse yes, this is an known issue. We are working on adding the support for RN 0.72.6 and React V18.2 @jefflewis thanks for providing a workaround!

[sdksupport-socketmobile]

@sorinrinse Apologies for the late reply. While we were able to upgrade React to 18.2, we are currently working on a migration which should be wrapped up end of next week. The following week we will start work on upgrading the React Native version to >0.72.6. Thank you for your patience!
