Aimed at fixing zulip#5729. This small upgrade is nice and easy; the upgrade helper doesn't show any other changes we need to make: https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.68.5&to=0.68.7 Release notes: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases/tag/v0.68.7 Incidentally we also get facebook/react-native@c3ad8ec7e in this release, which makes the change we've been patching in with `patch-package` to fix an Xcode build failure, so we can remove our `patch-package` patch. Tested on an iOS simulator (iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 16.4), and on the office Android device (Samsung Galaxy S9 running Android 9). We haven't managed to reproduce zulip#5729 ourselves so I can't report an observation of how this upgrade affects that issue. But upstream discussion is promising, and from a quick look nothing seems to break. Fixes: zulip#5729

We've had a few reports of the keyboard freezing on Samsung devices. Details: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/48-mobile/topic/freeze.20while.20typing.20.28Samsung.20Galaxy.20S21.29/near/1507199
We suspect facebook/react-native#35936. RN's fix has recently been backported to v68 in v0.68.7 (facebook/react-native#35936 (comment)) so we should upgrade to that.
We haven't yet managed to reproduce the issue ourselves, but hopefully the fix is good. The symptoms in the reports we've gotten have been bad.
