Description

Currently Android only but supported on iOS as well with Fabric. Allows optimizations, but doesn't cause functional issues if not present.

https://reactnative.dev/docs/view.html#collapsable

Views that are only used to layout their children or otherwise don't draw anything may be automatically removed from the native hierarchy as an optimization. Set this property to false to disable this optimization and ensure that this View exists in the native view hierarchy.

Start with the linked React Native View documentation and trace how View properties are exposed in this repository, including the Fabric path mentioned in the issue. Done means Windows supports the collapsable property and preserves the documented ability to disable native-view removal; verify behavior with the repository's relevant checks.
