v0.78.1

React Native v0.78.1 is a patch release addressing critical stability issues across Android and iOS platforms, including DevTools reliability, image rendering, and TextInput crashes. A known incompatibility with resolver.unstable_enablePackageExports requires a workaround configuration until the fix in v0.78.2. This release improves platform-specific initialization and interop layer behavior for better New Architecture support.
