[WIP] IOS on RN 0.80.0 crash: -[RCTView setIsActive:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

[Copilot]

Thanks for assigning this issue to me. I'm starting to work on it and will keep this PR's description up to date as I form a plan and make progress.

Original issue description:

Good day! We are trying to add your library to a project on the recently released RN 0.80.0 and we get a crash.

Current behaviour

When I add a component from the library to the layout I get a crash.. I think this is happening simply because I updated to RN 0.80.0. But to be honest, I am connecting your library for the first time just along with the update, and I have no way to check whether it worked on lower versions of RN.

Expected behaviour

The application should not crash.

How to reproduce?

Simply add the following code to any render (return) method of your component:

      <ReactNativeScannerView
        onQrScanned={() => {}}
        style={{ flex: 1 }}
        isActive={false}
        pauseAfterCapture
        showBox
      />

Preview

I get this error in xCode and my app freeze (or crash in release build):

What have you tried so far?

I tried to fix the setIsActive method using AI, but without success. I also tried to apply the changes from another issue here, but it did not help.

Your Environment

software	version
ios	18.5
android	-
react-native	0.80.0
@pushpendersingh/react-native-scanner	1.5.0
node	23.11.0
npm or yarn	yarn 4.4.0

Fixes #47.
