Setting the namespace via the package attribute in the source AndroidManifest.xml is no longer supported

Hi @kkafar , I always get this message:

Task :react-native-screens:processReleaseManifest
package="com.swmansion.rnscreens" found in source AndroidManifest.xml: 
React-native-MyApp/node_modules/react-native-screens/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml.
Setting the namespace via the package attribute in the source AndroidManifest.xml is no longer supported, 
and the value is ignored.
Recommendation: remove package="com.swmansion.rnscreens" from the source AndroidManifest.xml: 
React-native-MyApp/node_modules/react-native-screens/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml.

@Angelk90 yeah I feel you! I do not remember right now what AGP version introduced these changes but the point is that we haven't removed the namespace attribute from manifest file due to backward compatibility reasons (if we had, we could have build issues on older react-native versions).

I did some quick research just now & it seems that the namespace can be set through AGP since version 4.2.0 (link), so we wouldn't lose the compatibility.

I need to map the react-native versions we support to the respective AGP versions they're using...

Results:

0.72 used 7.4.x already (link) and it is a version we do not already support - therefore it seems I should be able to get rid of this issue
