Should we release 0.69.9?

[kelset]

Released, please refer to #63

Current Release: 0.69.8

Conversations on this thread are limited:

• major release issues.
• qualified cherry-pick requests of commits on main that did not make the previous patch version.

Please include a link to the specific commit on main to be cherry-picked, for example: facebook/react-native@bd2b7d6

In other words, if you cannot point to a particular commit on main, then your request likely belongs as a new issue.
If the issue is a major release issues, please reference the issue here.

samsung lists + textinput issue: this week a fix should land

The larger change to minimize the number of spans emitted by React Native is currently being validated and is targeting next week to hit the main branch.

We should wait for it before doing a new patch.

Cherry-pick, fix for Xcode 14.3.0:

• Fix Cocoapods for Xcode 14.3.0 facebook/react-native#36759

Changes probably need to be applied manually (no cherry-picked), due to Monorepo changes.
