Reproducible demo

• Start a fresh Android emulator, I used a Pixel 4 on API 31.
• Call InAppPurchases.connectAsync()
• Notice it never resolves
• (optional) Open Play Store app and login
• (optional) Re-call InAppPurchases.connectAsync(), notice it works as expected.

i'd recommend trying out revenuecat's integration for a more fully featured option than what is available as of june 2022 in expo-in-app-purchases. we aren't actively working on this module at the moment so you will likely have more success with revenuecat's library. see this post for more info: https://www.revenuecat.com/blog/using-revenuecat-with-expos-managed-workflow/
