Moving to newer versions of react native

[Kemsa]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch react-native-http-bridge@0.6.1 for the project I'm working on.

I work with the latest react native (0.70) with a recent gradle version, here are the steps I did to make it compatible. (essentially changed compile to implementation and migrate android lib to androidx lib).

Here is the diff that solved my problem:
