chore: upgrade examples to 0.71.0

[matinzd]

Upgrade all examples to 0.71.0 to prepare for rolling out new architecture.

[matinzd]

@AlexanderEggers Can you check the Android paper example here and see if you can build it?

[AlexanderEggers]

Sure I will have a look this weekend 👍

@matinzd I had a look at the changes + did a few local changes that I can push up if you want? I am actually unable to build the paper apps using the RN 0.71 upgrade. It seems to be related to certain sub-dependencies not supporting RN 0.71 yet which throws error like the following for me:

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':app:debugCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not find com.facebook.react:react-android:.
     Required by:
         project :app
   > Could not find com.facebook.react:hermes-android:.
     Required by:
         project :app
   > Could not find any matches for com.facebook.react:react-native:+ as no versions of com.facebook.react:react-native are available.
     Required by:
         project :app > project :react-native-community_slider
         project :app > project :react-native-picker_picker

We could try to patch these sub-dependencies but I am not certain if that is the suggested way by the RN team.

@AlexanderEggers I had the same issue. I think we can fix it by overriding sub dependecies with gradle on top or for now you can just patch them and then we can come up with a better solution.

[AlexanderEggers]

Ok, I will take care of patching then 👍 Should I raise a separate PR for that work or do I have the right repo permissions to push directly into this branch?

It is probably worth raising this with RN if that wasn't discussed somewhere before.

You can make a PR off of this branch.
Yes, I think it can be related to reactwg/react-native-new-architecture#105.

@matinzd I tried patching these libs but no luck to resolve all errors. For some reasons the react plugin is not properly resolved.

[matinzd]

I will also take a look into that when I find a free time. Thank you! @AlexanderEggers

@AlexanderEggers I figured out that react-native-windows is causing conflicts.
I submitted an issue here.

@matinzd Should we remove react-native-windows from the paper-example project then?

I don't know. I was thinking maybe dropping support for windows for now if possible. But @emilioicai should comment on that.
But unfortunately we are using it and we are supporting windows.

[emilioicai]

iOS and Android support are more important now. We could re-add the support as a separate initiative and recommend the current version which seems to be working fine for current windows users.
