fix: declare ios component correctly

[itsramiel]

Currently the example app on version 0.77 crashes because of this

Configure iOS components correctly according to codegen. Check docs.

Hello @dominicstop - do you think you're able to merge this?

[dominicstop]

hello, @fobos531
sure, i'll merge it, and submit a relese

[fobos531]

Also @dominicstop I'm not sure what your policy is on the supported react native versions, but once you start supporting only RN 0.80+ for this library, I think we can migrate to the new format for this. facebook/react-native#49941

So

"ios": {
      "componentProvider": {
        "RNIDetachedView": "RNIDetachedView",
        "RNIDummyTestView": "RNIDummyTestView",
        "RNIWrapperView": "RNIWrapperView"
      }
    }

would become

"ios": {
      "components": {
        "RNIDetachedView": {
          "className": "RNIDetachedView"
        },
        "RNIDummyTestView": {
          "className": "RNIDummyTestView"
        },
        "RNIWrapperView": {
          "className": "RNIWrapperView"
        }
      }
    }

@fobos531 thank you vey much for the detailed info! i've been out of the loop w/ RN lately so i'll have to read up on this...

in the meantime, if you have any other PR's you want merge, please let me know!

[fobos531]

@dominicstop Thank you, much appreciated!

This one dominicstop/react-native-ios-context-menu#132 probably also needs a merge for this to work fully.

#28 and #29 in this repo also look like they would be useful to merge, but maybe @itsramiel should provide more context on it first, or whether they feel confident that it can be merged.

[dominicstop]

okie, i will check

[itsramiel]

#28 updates the example app to 0.80.1 where the library breaks. You can either initialize a new rn project with 5.1.6 and see the error. Or run pr #28 since the example app is in 0.80.1

#29 fixes the issue you see in #28

[dominicstop]

hello @itsramiel ✨

thanks very much for your fixes; i've released a new verion with your changes: v5.1.6, and v5.1.8-0

i'm still trying to get the updated example to run (that's why it's a prepatch 5.1.8-0 release); once i'm able to get it running, i'll release another patch

[itsramiel]

Awesome! let me know if you have a problem running the example app!

[itsramiel]

@fobos531 thank you vey much for the detailed info! i've been out of the loop w/ RN lately so i'll have to read up on this...

Btw I just want to say you are such a valuable addition to the RN ecosystem. RN has been growing lately and there are many talented people working on it. You are def one of them!

[dominicstop]

hello, i'm releasing a new patch w/ your changes (patch 5.1.8) + additional fixes for paper (just had to do some testing first)


New Examples:
Refactored to have multiple examples (for easier upgrading in the future):

examples
├── example-core
├── example-v0.77
├── example-v0.78
└── example-v0.80.1

had to make a minor fix, but everything seems to work-ish in both fabric + paper (It would be nice to also do this for the other libs too but i just don't have the time atm unfotunatley)
