react-native-device-info does not seem to handle new architecture for windows
Problem Description
A friendly Microsoft person mentioned in react-native-permissions (https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-permissions/issues/925) that they may be able to help with react-ntive-windows implementations of some important modules
Historically there was help from Microsoft getting react-native-device-info working, and I'll admit (as maintainer) I need the help for New Arch as well - related issue: https://github.com/react-native-device-info/react-native-device-info/issues/1687
Steps To Reproduce
- Install react-native-windows 0.76+ with new arch enabled
- add react-native-device-info
- Sad developer 😆
I am deliberately being pretty brief about reproduction details because I believe it's trivial to reproduce, but I'm the maintainer - I expect to collaborate on the related issue
I will also apologize in advance for the very very out of date example app in repo, haven't had time to fix it

Hey Mike! Thanks for filing this - I have been working on adding New Arch support for other community modules, and can work on adding New Arch support for react-native-device-info. We only have new arch support for more recent versions of RNW - the first step would be to upgrade ideally to a version >= 76. It looks like the module is currently on 0.67 - is this something that can be upgraded fairly smoothly?
Sorry - just realized that the first step here is for me to get the module itself updated, missed that Let me see what I can do
Re-assigning to @sharath2727 as he is taking over ownership of upgrading react-native-device-info.
