Description

Bump bundled rive-android to ≥ 11.5.0 for the libandroid.so startup-crash fix

rive-react-native@9.8.3 still pins rive-android 11.4.1. The fix for the common startup crash

MissingLibraryException: Could not find 'libandroid.so'. Looked for: [armeabi-v7a, armeabi], but only found: [].
  at app.rive.runtime.kotlin.RiveInitializer.create

landed in rive-android 11.5.0 (#12293, non-recursive linking) — so it's unreachable from any released wrapper (11.4.1 < 11.5.0).

Request: bump runtimeVersions.android to ≥ 11.5.0 (ideally 11.7.1).

Crash fires at startup via RiveInitializer, killing the app before RN loads — a top Android crash for us on low-end devices. Refs: rive-app/rive-android#323, #341.
