react-native 0.73 compatibility

[Akatroj]

Hello, while I don't use this library in our project (we are using react-native-sms-retriever instead), I noticed that this is basically a fork of that library, and the issue probably applies to this library as well.

When I was upgrading our project to react-native 0.73, I noticed that the sms retriever was not working, and with some debugging I found the reason: https://stackoverflow.com/a/77276774/17101184

Based on this answer, I made a patch for the original library. As I cannot publish it in that repo anymore (it was archived and is read-only now), I'm posting it here in the hopes that somebody using either of these libraries find this and it saves them some time:

this is specifically because react-native 0.73 bumped the targetSdkVersion to 34, which started throwing an exception when registering the receiver
