remove reactDOM.findDOMNode usage

[joshbalfour]

React 19 removed ReactDOM.findDOMNode: https://18.react.dev/reference/react-dom/findDOMNode
This update follows their recommended alternative method.

Any plans on releasing this? I am getting a _reactDom.default.findDOMNode is not a function error in a storybook that uses this dependency after updating to React Native 0.79.5 / React 19.0.0. I can confirm that this change fixes the error for me, I tested it by applying a patch with these changes: react-native-web-lottie+1.4.4.patch

LGTM, the only thing I would change is to move the createRef import to the first line:

import React, { createRef, PureComponent } from 'react';

LGTM but the library seems to be dead :(
