Dependency updates & contributing

[janek]

hi!

I'm interested in contributing to the project. At the moment, the main branch doesn't run (or it didn't for me). I noticed that there is an unmerged PR that updates some dependencies for Android (#78, from @SyntaxBlitz). In my fork, I made a few changes that allowed me to run the app on iOS (see https://github.com/janek/lt-app).

I thought I would make this issue to ask if there are plans to merge these changes to make the app more ready for contributions. I think those two sets of changes would allow it to run, but it could be better if we managed to upgrade to current version of React Native.

Let me know what you think!

@SyntaxBlitz would likewise love to know if you're open to contributions. Looks like the last contributions weren't merged.
