Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As presented in React Native EU this year, findNodeHandle will soon be deprecated. We should consider a way to refactor the code around that.

thanks for the heads up! I haven't seen that findNodeHandle was deprecated -- have you seen any posts about it?

@brunohkbx how can we refactor our code when it is deprecated ?

It looks like React 19 / React Native 0.79 removed the findNodeHandle
