Summary

Hi, I just came across this issue while working on my mobile app running on Expo SDK49. While I was able to mitigate the problem following one of the suggestions found in another bug report, I'm wondering, what's the real solution for this?

My journey so far:

1. some people suggested to set tracksViewChanges={false} but that's not feasible in some scenarios (like mine)
2. some people suggested to set googleRenderer="LEGACY" which requires upgrading to at least v1.13.2 (like I did)

While the first solution is a non-solution for many cases, the second feels like a workaround while waiting for the inevitable.

I couldn't find anything specific in the changelog so I was hoping the maintainers could shed some light on this.
