Can you also bump the template to compileSdk 37?

It seems like this is needed:

       1.  Dependency 'com.facebook.react:react-android:1000.0.0-eac195b4e' requires libraries and applications that
           depend on it to compile against version 37 or later of the
           Android APIs.
     
           :app is currently compiled against android-36.
     
           Recommended action: Update this project to use a newer compileSdk
           of 37.
     
           Note that updating a library or application's compileSdk (which
           allows newer APIs to be used) can be done separately from updating
           targetSdk (which opts the app in to new runtime behavior) and
           minSdk (which determines which devices the app can be installed
           on).

Upgrade react-native nightly to v0.87.0-nightly-20260705-e04ff69ab (#…
8b0886e 
…1971)

- 0.87.0-nightly-20260519-58cd1bf58 to 0.87.0-nightly-20260705-e04ff69ab
- Revert "Fix RN 0.83 iOS CI hermes-engine pod checksum drift" f8261a5 and resolve conflict
- Bump CocoaPods incl React-Core-prebuilt and hermes-engine to 250829098.0.14
- Disable AGP 9 builtin Kotlin compiler and new DSL
  - fix: Failed to apply plugin 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
    - Cannot add extension with name 'kotlin', as there is an extension already registered with that name
  - force AGP 9 to act like AGP 8 until libs migrated
  - add TODO to revert both flags and old KGP once ecosystem ready
  - ref: react/react-native#56222
- Enable AGP 9 R8 ProguardFile optimization
  - fix: `getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt')` is no longer supported since it includes `-dontoptimize`, which prevents R8 from performing many optimizations. Instead use `getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt)`, and if needed, temporarily use `-dontoptimize` in a custom keep rule file while fixing breakages.
  - improve: startup, memory, rendering and runtime perf, ANRs
- Bump compileSdk and buildTools to 37
  - Android 17 Beta, lvl 37, Cinnamon Bun
  - TODO: add upstream RN CI regression test for react/react-native#57284 (comment) i.e. -Pandroid.compileSdkVersion=36
    - since react/react-native#57289 now -Pandroid.compileSdkVersion=34
- Update jest snapshot
