Android: Add support for Fabric / new architecture

[chrfalch]

See #387

Has anyone made progress migrating this library to Fabric or can I help in anyway? I'm using version 0.1.158 and it still throws the "unimplemented component" error when rendering a canvas. Unfortunately we have no choice but to use the Fabric architecture and we would really like to use this library but cannot seem to get it working with Fabric. Does anyone have any more information on this topic?

Are there any updates on this? I just upgraded to Fabric on the new architecture and the the Skia components are breaking on Android. RN 0.71 makes the new architecture upgrade much easier so I imagine that a lot of apps are going to migrate soon.

Any news ? :)

I haven't seen many people talking about it, but there is an interop layer for the legacy arch now. reactwg/react-native-new-architecture#135

I don't know if it's practical for this lib or not, but if anyone is desperate to get the rest of their project on Fabric while still using Skia, I'd love to hear how it goes.

If it works alright, maybe we could get a "Fabric-compatible" release ahead of real Fabric support?

Totally understand this project has a lot of moving parts and paying supporters get priority, as has been stated already.

Having said that, for teams wanting to adopt the new arch, could a maintainer weigh-in on what a timeline for RN Skia supporting it may be?

Weeks? Months? Years?

Just so we can move forward with using it or not :)
Thanks.

I just tested it with Hermes enabled and using:
-@shopify/react-native-skia v0.1.213
-react v18.2.0
-react-native v0.72.6
For Android built, but getting next error on iOS platform

Temporal fix, add next to react-native.config.js file:

Note 1 for temporal fix: Only worked for Android.
Note 2 for temporal fix: You might reinstall app after add fix.

I'm having the same problem, I couldn't find how to solve it. Does anyone know?

Can I know if there is any progress on this?

I'd love Skia on the new arch!
