Hi @cortinico
Thank you for reviewing my PR!

The change was officially introduced in the React Native 0.79 release, where UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental(true) is no longer required, it’s enabled by default for Android.
Unfortunately, the original PR that introduced this change appears to have been deleted or made private, and the release blog no longer includes specific mention of it. However, the change has been verified through community discussions and by observing recent versions of the RNTester app, where the call has been removed

> `UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental(true)` is **no longer needed** in React Native 0.79+ and above. It is enabled by default now.

If you're using an older version (before 0.79), you can still use:

```js
if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
if (UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental) {
UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental(true);
}
}
```
