☂️ RN Upgrade related issues

[siddarthkay]

note : This is an umbrella issue.
Here I'd like to keep a track of Issues and their resolutions which occurred as a side effect of Upgrading React Native.

React Native Upgrade from 0.69.10 to 0.72.5

• make run-ios issues after RN upgrade #18181
• Metro Bundler Crashes Frequently #18166
• Hot Reload Issue After Waking From Sleep #18245 - This might not be entirely related to the upgrade, but I'm keeping it in this context as the issue surfaced after the upgrade.

React Native Upgrade from 0.67 to 0.69
