Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.rnmaps.maps.MapMarker.update(int, int)' on a null object reference

[JuMalIO]

Summary

I am getting an error when filtering changing markers on Android:

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.rnmaps.maps.MapMarker.update(int, int)' on a null object reference

"react": "19.1.0",
"react-native": "0.80.0",
"react-native-maps": "^1.24.3",

What's the correct way to deal with it? Should I not remove DOM elements and instead hide/set opacity to 0?
How do I get notified that Layout is happening and on that stage I should not change markers?
Any help/ideas what could be causing this?

Reproducible sample code

complex code

Steps to reproduce

Adding removing Markers when layout is going on?

Expected result

not crashing

Actual result

crashing with native error

As a temporary workaround I applied a patch to prevent the crash. I didn't noticed any side effect.

Should we make such PR? Is this proper solution?

I'm getting the same error. Also, when I tap a marker, it's not centered but shifts slightly to the left.
