The core packages used in this project are getting slightly outdated.

Describe the solution you'd like
Starting from the Expo core downwards, we could work on upgrading the packges to more recently supported versions. Was this considered and dropped for a particular reason in the past? I noticed there was a fairly recent wave of cool changes on this repo!

Ideally moving to:

  • Expo 54
  • React Native 0.81 (and it's equivalent react-native-tvos)
  • React Navigation 7
  • react-tv-space-navigation 6
  • react 19.1

Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried simply updating the packages to their closest expectation of version matching, but ultimately couldn't get the yarn dev:web to render anymore.

I noticed a seperate issue relating to Expo 52 but that seems to have stayed dormant since last year.

Additional context
This react-native TV project with support for all major TV platforms is really good. Thank you so much for all the great work! Happy to help where I can, though I have limited knowledge of Expo.
