Breaking Changes

●Issue #1

RCTSurfaceHostingProxyRootView no longer automatically calls 'start' on the provided surface regardless of the initializer used. Developers must now manually call 'start' on the surface.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    Update iOS code using RCTSurfaceHostingProxyRootView to explicitly call .start() on the associated surface.
  2. 2
    Ensure Android builds are compatible with the bumped Kotlin version (1.9.25).

Release Summary

This release includes critical bug fixes for the New Architecture, updates Kotlin to 1.9.25, and introduces a breaking change in how RCTSurfaceHostingProxyRootView handles surface initialization on iOS.
