Thank you for opening a new pick-request for React Native.
Those are the criterias we follow when accepting/rejecting a pick request (source).

If your pick does not satisfy the criteria below, please close it as it will not be considered.

✅ Which pick requests we accept

✅ Fixes for regressions to core APIs. Examples:
- A core component is behaving differently between version 0.X and 0.X-1
- The TurboModule.getEnforcing function is throwing an assertion error which is not expected.
✅ Fixes to bugs in the core React Native’s experience. Examples:
- Breakpoints in React Native DevTools not working correctly in the debugger
- Fast Refresh not working as expected
- Metro bundler not starting properly or ignoring the configuration file
- Buttons that are not clickable
✅ Fixes to APIs used by 3P libraries and Out-of-tree platforms. Examples:
- An API that is used by react-native-macos is not behaving as expected or regressing
✅ Bump of patch version of dependencies. Example:
- Bump Gradle from 8.11.0 to 8.11.1
✅ Fixes for Low/High Security Vulnerability. Example:
- Bump Gradle from 8.11.0 to 8.12.0 if there is a security vulnerability in 8.11 and there is no version 8.11.x which would contain the same fix.
✅ Fixes and reverts of accidental breaking changes. Example:
- Reverting or fix-forwarding a migration to Kotlin of a file (say ReactRootView.java ) if that is causing a breaking change for the whole React Native ecosystem.
✅ Performance improvements picks. Examples:
- Fixing unnecessary rendering on FlatList.
✅ Any pick if the release is still in RC0 (after RC1 the previous listed criteria applies)

❌ Which pick requests we don’t accept

❌ Any pick that will introduce a breaking change after RC1. Example:
- A bugfix that contains a refactoring, resulting in changes to the public API of a class
❌ Any pick that introduces a new feature after RC1. Example:
- A commit that introduces a new API or a specific feature for a component.
❌ Bump of major/minor version of dependencies. Example:
- Bump Gradle from 8.11.0 to 8.12.0
- Bump Gradle from 8.11.0 to 9.0.0
❌Bump of a dependency to a non stable/alpha/beta version. Example:
- Bump Gradle from 8.11.0 to 8.11.1-beta.1
❌Any pick that introduces changes to the testing infrastructure of React Native after RC1. Examples:
- Changes to the GitHub Actions workflows to optimize it, even if they’re on main.
- Changes to the logic used to publish packages to NPM or Maven Central
❌ Pick composed by various commits that has several merge conflicts
- If your pick is too complicated to apply on the release branch, we’re going to reject it.
❌ Any other non-critical improvement that landed on main.
- In general those will ship in the following version unless they fit in one of the criteria above
❌ Any other pick which is considered “small enough” to make it into a release.
- If your pick is a one liner but is a ‘nice to have’, we won’t be picking it, as it has the risk of destabilizing the release and further delaying the release.

ℹ️ What makes for a good pick

In order for your pick to be considered, please do the following:

ℹ️ Have a pick that contains only one commit from main, or only one PR against the release branch.
ℹ️ Have a clear explanation of why your pick should be considered, ideally referencing one of the criteria above.
ℹ️ Target only one minor version of React Native (e.g. [0.76]). If you want your pick to be applied to more versions, please open different picks.

[0.81] Restore flow dir in react-native package files #1057
