[gastonmorixe]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 2 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• Example/package.json

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning

Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

This upgrade from React Native 0.59.9 to 0.69.12 is incompatible with React 16.8.3. React Native 0.69.x requires React 18.0.0 or higher according to the official React Native compatibility matrix. The current React version (16.8.3) will cause runtime errors and build failures.

Additionally, the start script on line 6 references "node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js" which was removed in React Native 0.60. From 0.60 onwards, React Native uses the @react-native-community/cli package instead.

To properly upgrade to React Native 0.69.12, the following changes are needed:

1. Update React to version 18.0.0 or higher
2. Update react-test-renderer to match the React version
3. Update the start script to use "react-native start" instead
4. Update other dependencies like metro-react-native-babel-preset to compatible versions
5. Update the yarn.lock file (which the PR description indicates has failed)
