Add back the QR code download button

[lakchote]

QR code download doesn't work anymore (as of today) since the new arch (Fabric PR) got merged.

TL;DR: react-native-view-shot does not support new arch yet.

It was decided here to hide the Download button for QR code in the meantime, to prevent users from encountering bugs and degrading user experience.

When the update 0.74 for react-native is available, we should:

• use it so react-native-view-shot works again as intended
• Revert PR here and show back the Download button.

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

QR code download using react-native-view-shot doesn't work after moving to the new arch.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The react-native-view-shot library has introduced the new architecture support in latest version, but we are still using 3.8.0. (gre/react-native-view-shot#516)

Also, these changes in react-native need to be included.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Add patch for the view-shot library with the changes for the new architecture or bump the version to 4.0.0-alpha.0.
Add patch for these changes in react-native.

Note: This is same as my proposal here.

PR didn't solve the issue, see #49868 (comment). We're going to wait for a new stable version.
