I am picking d07b2a9 into 0.79. There are several merge conflicts so doing this as a PR per @cortinico's recommendation in reactwg/react-native-releases#952. The main issue being that ReactEditText is Java in this branch as opposed to Kotlin.
This change addresses this issue: #51072
A change I made in 0.79 broke some blurring behavior on older Android versions.
