Fix VersionNumber usage in React Native Android build with major version validation (#27385)
### Description
Replaced `VersionNumber.parse()` with integer comparison on both major
and minor versions, including validation for version format and future
React Native 1.0+ compatibility:
```gradle
// Before - fails in dependencies block
if (VersionNumber.parse(REACT_NATIVE_VERSION) < VersionNumber.parse("0.71")) {
extractLibs "com.facebook.fbjni:fbjni:+:headers"
extractLibs "com.facebook.fbjni:fbjni:+"
}
// After - extracts and validates major and minor versions
def versionParts = REACT_NATIVE_VERSION.split("\\.")
if (versionParts.length < 2) {
throw new GradleException("Invalid React Native version format: ${REACT_NATIVE_VERSION}. Expected format: major.minor[.patch]")
}
def REACT_NATIVE_MAJOR_VERSION = versionParts[0].toInteger()
def REACT_NATIVE_MINOR_VERSION = versionParts[1].toInteger()
// For fbjni dependencies
if (REACT_NATIVE_MAJOR_VERSION == 0 && REACT_NATIVE_MINOR_VERSION < 71) {
extractLibs "com.facebook.fbjni:fbjni:+:headers"
extractLibs "com.facebook.fbjni:fbjni:+"
}
// For c++_shared configuration
if (REACT_NATIVE_MAJOR_VERSION > 0 || REACT_NATIVE_MINOR_VERSION >= 71) {
// Use c++_shared
}
```
**Version Logic:**
- **React Native 0.70 and earlier**: Old behavior (no c++_shared,
include fbjni dependencies)
- **React Native 0.71+**: New behavior (use c++_shared, no fbjni
dependencies)
- **React Native 1.0+ (future)**: New behavior (use c++_shared, no fbjni
dependencies)
**Additional improvements:**
- Added version format validation to prevent runtime errors on malformed
versions
- Error message accurately reflects that patch version is optional
(`major.minor[.patch]`)
- Used clearer condition `REACT_NATIVE_MAJOR_VERSION > 0` for better
code clarity
- Ensures correct behavior when React Native eventually releases version
1.0+
### Motivation and Context
`VersionNumber` is unavailable in dependencies block context, causing:
```
Could not get unknown property 'VersionNumber' for object of type
org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler
```
Integer comparison with major version validation is simpler,
context-independent, and future-proof for React Native 1.0+ releases.
The patch version is optional since only major and minor versions are
used in the comparison logic.
