Repo example app doesn't work

[toppsdown]

I'm running into unexpected problems with the library see #201

So I decided to download the repo and try to play with the Java code. My first step was to get the example app running... it's been 4 hours.

I'm new to android dev, so I'm sure this is partially my own ignorance, but I've run into 100 different problems trying to get this working.

The main issue seems to be that the libraries are very out of date and the package.json files don't specify the right versions.

Some problems I ran into:

• FSevents failed to build: needed ot add "nan" package, though it still fails with a warning
• Need to use java 13 for specified gradle version 6.2
• @react-native-community/cli-platform-android: version 3 conflicts with build process
• Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported: apparently need to use an older node version. I tried 18, 16, and 14. 18 and 16 caused the same error. 14 caused so many new errors I couldn't debug it.

Do you have insight into how I can get the example app running?

Actually looks like I messed something up badly in my configuration. Going to try with a fresh version and will reopen if I run into the same problems

I spent another 3 hours trying to get this running and ran into a dozen more issues. I give up.

Has anybody been able to get this working?
