This fixes an issue where the app would restart on entering split screen, or on resizing the app's side of a split screen. Basically this line of the Android manifest is making an assurance to the system that the app is prepared to handle these changes; docs here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#config When the system doesn't get that assurance, it just restarts the app from scratch to be sure. And empirically the app indeed does just fine when we add those assurances and then go ahead and switch to split-screen mode, or resize the app's portion of the split screen. That layer of things is basically all RN's job, so RN is handling this just fine -- we just haven't been letting the system know that we're ready to do so. Also got this fixed in the RN template app upstream: facebook/react-native#32536 facebook/react-native@fc962c9b6 [greg: expanded commit message] Fixes: zulip#5068
