RN: Remove Android setTimeout Warning
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Summary:
Many third-party libraries (especially data management and caching ones) make use of long timeouts.

There are currently no plans to change `setTimeout` on Android to support firing when apps are in the background. In the meantime, this warning is not actionable for developers who are using these frameworks. Their workarounds are to 1) deal with the noise in their logs, or 2) suppress the warning.

Changelog:
[General][Removed] - Removed warning on Android for `setTimeout` with delays greater than 1 minute.
