findNodeHandle is no longer supported on web.

🐛 Bug Report

[change] React 19 support. Note that findNodeHandle is no longer supported on web.

react-native-web version >= 20, no longer supports "findNodeHandle", but some of your ui kitten components still use them, so they are broken on the web platform with Expo.

To Reproduce

Create a new project with Expo, set up the ui kitten library and use component, it should cause a runtime error, saying "findNodeHandle is no longer supported on web"

🙏🙏 Please please don't abandon this library, most my projects use ui kittens libraries for most of it's ui needs, please fix the issues and update the source codes, 🙏 🙏 Thank you for this useful library ❤️❤️

After seeing the issues and pending pull requests, with heavy heart I am forced to move away from Kitten UI. It's used in a fairly large project and it's a pain to migrate to another UI lib as it take a hell lot of efforts. It's better to use a well active project than well maintained one. I am breaking up with Kitten UI. I am confused between https://www.nativewind.dev/ with https://reactnativereusables.com/ or https://gluestack.io/
