AppState.removeEventListener is deprecated and causes crash

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch react-native-countdown-component@2.7.1 for the project I'm working on.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

diff --git a/node_modules/react-native-countdown-component/index.js b/node_modules/react-native-countdown-component/index.js
index b546b82..3127250 100644
