omi React Native SDK is not working properly

Describe the bug

@omiai/omi-react-native SDK is not working for Expo 53
Following the Docs also throws new NativeEventEmitter() requires a non-null argument

To Reproduce

Implement the example in an Expo 53 bare app and try and connect to Omi

Current behavior

@omiai/omi-react-native SDK is using an outdated version of react-native-ble-plx
Example app is using Expo 50 while the current version of Expo is 53

When trying to patch the SDK these are the additional issues

manger.onStateChange doesn't get called and app cannot get Bluetooth State
App is showing all bluetooth devices instead of OMI devices

Expected behavior

Up to date React Native SDK
Working implementation of Bluetooth Manager

@gabimoncha Struggled with this quite a bit myself but using the expo-50 sdk I was able to get this working https://github.com/AnkushMalaker/friend-lite/tree/main/friend-lite Leaving it here for reference until it gets solved upstream. This works end to end and I can get the states. I would like an upgraded react-native package too!

Thank you @AnkushMalaker. I've manged to make it work on expo 53, thought some changes had to be done

Nice, so can this issue be closed? @gabimoncha

Not really, change to the SDK still needs to be done in order to make it compatible with expo 53

To prevent duplicate work will wait for this PR to get resolved. I do have some optimization to add since testing and working with the SDK
