Changes

package.json

• Upgraded @maniac-tech/react-native-expo-read-sms: 8.0.2-alpha → ^9.1.2
• Upgraded expo: ^51.0.0 → ^53.0.0
• Upgraded react-native: 0.74.3 → 0.79.6
• Upgraded react: 18.2.0 → 19.0.0 (RN 0.79 requires React 19)
• Upgraded expo-dev-client: ~4.0.19 → ~5.2.4 (fixes isRemoteJSDebugEnabled removed in RN 0.79)
• Upgraded expo-splash-screen: ~0.27.5 → ~0.30.10
• Upgraded expo-status-bar: ~1.12.1 → ~2.2.3
• Upgraded expo-build-properties: ~0.12.3 → ~0.14.8
• Added expo-asset: ~11.1.7 — explicit dep required for autolinking to register the ExpoAsset native module
• Removed: react-native-paper, react-native-web, react-dom, expo-updates
• Renamed package: exporeadsms-test → expo-read-sms-test-app

app.json

• Added explicit sdkVersion: "53.0.0"
• Fixed android.permissions — now correctly declares RECEIVE_SMS and READ_SMS (was empty [])
• Bumped compileSdkVersion / targetSdkVersion: 34 → 35 (required by core-splashscreen:1.2.0-alpha02 pulled in by expo-splash-screen ~0.30.x)
• Bumped minSdkVersion: 23 → 24 (RN 0.79 dropped Android 6 / API 23 support)
• Added expo-asset config plugin entry
• Removed OTA updates config (expo-updates plugin, runtimeVersion, extra.eas)
• Removed iOS and web targets (Android-only test app)

App.js

• Full rewrite: replaced react-native-paper UI with a minimal plain React Native UI
• Directly calls all four library APIs and logs results on-screen:
  • checkIfHasSMSPermission() — displays both permission flags
  • requestReadSMSPermission() — triggers system dialog, then re-checks status
  • startReadSMS(callback) — starts listener; logs received SMS body
  • stopReadSMS() — stops listener; confirms via log
• Removed useApp hook dependency (previously coupled to old UI)

• App launches on device/emulator
• checkIfHasSMSPermission() — returns correct { hasReadSmsPermission, hasReceiveSmsPermission } object
