React Native support for 64 bit architecture on 0.51.0

[thanmaic]

Hi team, I am writing this to check with you if RN 0.51 version supports the 64 bit architecture in android. Since when i tried to upload the APK to play store it threw an error as below.

I tried to do some changes as mentioned in below link to support my current app to both 32 bit and 64 bit architecture in app build gradle, but when i try to launch the app it crashes. Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56033583

I read some blogs and articles to find that RN 0.59 or higher supports the 64 bit architecture build in android. But I wanted to check with you incase can we support 64 bit architecture for my current RN version(0.51) with minimal changes? If yes please explain how to go about it. If no please suggest an alternative in detail.

Current RN version: 0.51.0 Upgrade version: 0.59.0 +

Thanks.
