Drag & Drop - no longer working on Web -- including the README's Expo Snack Examples

[fbartho]

Describe the bug
I successfully integrated react-native-reanimated, react-native-gesture-handler, and react-native-web (all tested independently).

I then made a demo: https://gist.github.com/fbartho/7705799c9438d465e1f7f3b8a0e1bedb -- this demo rendered correctly, but upon attempting to drag objects, nothing happened. (I added the <ScaleDecorator> and that does trigger, but then the component doesn't move).

Debugging the demo, I went to test the Expo Snack from the documentation readme

And unfortunately this experiences the same problem.

To Reproduce
Link a snack if possible.

Same here, the packaged doesn't work with React 19.

The error I'm receiving in logs:

Accessing element.ref was removed in React 19. ref is now a regular prop. It will be removed from the JSX Element type in a future release.

Hi, try adding activationDistance={1} to the props.
