Support React Native 0.85

[m-bert]

Description

This PR brings support for React Native 0.85

Note

For now CI fails with @react-native/jest-preset. Seems like bug in React Native itself, as jest-preset.js is still not present in node_modules.

Status

• 0.85.0-rc.0 ✅

Test plan

Tested that basic-example builds and works correctly.

Pull request overview

Updates the repository’s example app/tooling to validate compatibility with React Native 0.85.0-rc.0, plus small RN API adjustments (e.g., StyleSheet.absoluteFill*) that align with newer RN versions.

Changes:

• Bumps react-native and related @react-native/* tooling to 0.85.0-rc.0 for basic-example and the package dev setup.
• Replaces StyleSheet.absoluteFillObject with StyleSheet.absoluteFill across components/examples.
• Updates platform/tooling artifacts (Jest preset config, Gradle wrapper, CocoaPods lockfile, Ruby gems) and refreshes yarn.lock.

jest.config.js switches the preset to @react-native/jest-preset, but apps/basic-example/package.json does not list @react-native/jest-preset in dependencies/devDependencies. Since React Native declares it as an (optional) peer dependency, Jest will fail to resolve the preset unless you add it explicitly (ideally matching the RN version) or revert to the previous react-native preset.

Suggested change

	preset: '@react-native/jest-preset',
	preset: 'react-native',

The Gradle wrapper configuration downloads and executes the Gradle distribution from distributionUrl without any checksum or signature verification. If services.gradle.org or the network path is compromised, an attacker could deliver a tampered Gradle 9.3.1 binary that runs arbitrary code in your CI or developer environments. Add a distributionSha256Sum entry for this distribution so the wrapper verifies the artifact’s integrity before executing it.
