Apologies if this is the wrong place to put this on the roadmap, please feel free to redirect, but helpful to open an issue for discussion and tracking.
Since React Native v0.64, the minSDK supported by Android is 21. This is also the SDK which introduced PdfRenderer, Android's "native" way to render PDFs for display without the need for an external library (like AndroidPdfViewer). This library should update /android to use the native SDK for PDF rendering.
I'd absolutely love to tackle this, but it'll be months until I find the time 😞 . I'll happily review/guide others that have the bandwidth in the meantime 😄

AndroidPdfViewer). This library should update/androidto use the native SDK for PDF rendering.Here's a helpful article talking about the upsides of PdfRenderer: https://proandroiddev.com/rendering-pdfs-on-android-the-easy-way-c05635b2c3a8.
It's also worth pointing out that as
AndroidPdfViewerages, it's not receiving updates (last commit Aug 2019). And has had an open call for maintainers since before that time: https://github.com/barteksc/AndroidPdfViewer#looking-for-new-maintainer.I'd absolutely love to tackle this, but it'll be months until I find the time 😞 .
