Expo Android app crashing on Samsung devices on first startup with this library installed

[dariusternovan]

Description

On certain devices such as Samsung and Huawei phones, my Expo app using this library seems to crash sometimes upon first running after installing or updating it. The crash doesn't happen every time, and it doesn't happen on iOS devices or Android emulators. Upon opening the app after the crash, it never happens again until the user updates it or reinstalls it.

I've tried multiple versions of this library, but the issue persists. The only way I managed to get the app to not crash on my Samsung phone was to remove the library altogether. That, coupled with a similar issue reported on expo's Github repo (which I will link in this post) led to me posting this, as I believe it might be related to this library.

Below are the logs:

Someone also posted this issue to the expo GitHub repo:
expo/expo#18808

I am experiencing the exact same error as that issue's reported. A commenter suggested that the expo-updates library could cause it, but my app doesn't have that installed.

Steps to reproduce

Hi @dariusternovan! I've just checked that on 2 samsung devices (A21S and S20+) and neither of them crashed. I used this repo from issue in expo that you've mentioned in description.

If this problem still occurs, please provide a reproduction so we can look at it.

I'll close this issue since the upstream issue in Expo was also closed - the recommended solution is to use Hermes instead of JSC.
