Support React Native 0.77+ for Google Play 16KB Page Size Requirement

[hetvi-joshi]

Problem

VAPI SDK's pinned dependencies are incompatible with React Native 0.77+, blocking Google Play compliance.

Current Dependencies (from package.json)

"@daily-co/react-native-daily-js": "^0.78.0",
"@daily-co/react-native-webrtc": "118.0.3-daily.4"  // ← This is the blocker

Why This Blocks Us

• Google Play now requires 16KB page size support for all apps
• This requires React Native 0.77+ with NDK r28+ and AGP 8.5.1+
• VAPI's pinned @daily-co/react-native-webrtc@118.0.3-daily.4 (from July 2024) is incompatible with RN 0.77+
• Daily.co now recommends @daily-co/react-native-webrtc@124.0.6-daily.1 for current RN versions
• react-native-daily-js@0.78.0 itself should work fine; it's the WebRTC dependency that's the issue

Impact

• Priority: Critical - blocks Play Store updates
• Timeline: Immediate
• Workaround: None without forking SDK

Environment

• React Native needed: 0.77+ (0.80+ recommended)
• Current VAPI SDK: 0.3.0
• Platform: Android
