App Crash on Reload with expo reloadAppAsync

[Hikkikomori72]

Description

reopened issue #2834

Description
I used a basic example from the documentation to draw a line using the Points component. The app crashes upon attempting to reload using the reloadAppAsync() function from expo. I have not tested other examples. Note that the application may not crash on the first attempt; sometimes, it requires multiple reloads to reproduce the issue. The crash occurs both in Expo Go and in the release build (tested on iOS)

In my real project, where I render many elements using the skia library, the crash happens consistently on every reload attempt.

In the video, you can see the app flickering — this happens when I press the "Reload app" text. On one of the reloads, the app crashes.

Steps to Reproduce

I updated my example project here to upgrade the Skia version to 1.11.3, but I am still encountering errors.

1. install packages with yarn install
2. then yarn start
3. for testing scan qr code in console

The only version that works without issues in a pure Expo project is 1.5.
