Pull request overview
This PR restores compatibility with React Native 0.86+ by replacing the removed react-native/Libraries/Renderer/shims/ReactNative import with RendererProxy, while keeping a fallback to the legacy shim for older React Native versions.
Changes:
- Replace the previous re-export with a runtime
requirethat prefersreact-native/Libraries/ReactNative/RendererProxy. - Add a
try/catchfallback to the legacyreact-native/Libraries/Renderer/shims/ReactNativeshim for RN < 0.86. - Update linting approach from
@ts-nocheckto targeted eslint disables andany.

HI @zoontek! Thank you for this PR!
I've checked that and it seems that it doesn't work 😞 I've also did this on standalone RN 0.86 app outside of our monorepo with the same result. Nesting second require in try/catch block fixes this problem.
What we've found out is that RNRenderer is used only in one place, to validate GestureDetector children. However, this is already covered earlier in the flow. So our conclusion is that it probably can be safely removed instead of changed.
Would you like to do this, or should we handle it? 😅
