Android 14 compatibility

[androideveloper]

What happened?

We are exploring Android 14 and possibility to target it as soon as possible. In Android 14, Runtime-registered broadcasts receivers must specify export behavior.

There's one place in rn-navigation library, where a broadcast is registered without specifying the export behaviour. You can find it here. The way to fix this is bumping androidx.core dependency to be able to use the latest APIs for ContextCompat class.

On the other hand, we've noticed, that this class JsDevReloadHandler is initialized on app start, even for release builds. I've not found any checks for debug/release in the code. Isn't this supposed to run only on debug version of the app?

What was the expected behaviour?

• JsDevReloadHandler shouldn't be initialized on release builds.
• registering broadcast receiver should be compatible with android 14

Was it tested on latest react-native-navigation?

• I have tested this issue on the latest react-native-navigation release and it still reproduces.

Help us reproduce this issue!
