SpatialNavigationFocusableView onSelect Callback Does Not Work on Google / Android TV

[gfadamm]

Describe the bug
The onSelect callback of SpatialNavigationFocusableView is not triggered on Google TV and Android TV devices. As a result, users are unable to activate the focused item using the remote control’s Select/OK button.

Preconditions

• Application is running on a Google TV or Android TV device (or emulator).
• A SpatialNavigationFocusableView component is rendered and focusable.
• An onSelect callback is assigned to the component.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch the application on a Google TV or Android TV device.
2. Navigate to a screen containing a SpatialNavigationFocusableView.
3. Move focus to the component using the remote.
4. Press the Select/OK button on the remote.

Actual behavior
The component receives focus correctly, but pressing the Select/OK button does not trigger the onSelect callback.

Expected behavior
The onSelect callback should be invoked, and the associated action (e.g., opening a page, playing a video, or triggering navigation) should execute.

Environment

• Platform: Google / Android TV (Emulator)
• Input Device: TV Remote
• Component: SpatialNavigationFocusableView

Additional Notes

The onSelect callback works as expected on the application built with Expo SDK 51. The issue is only reproducible on the newer SDK version (54)
