Fix android crash on app launch after app upgrades

[vharsh]

Describe the bug

In most cases the app works as normal, but after a series of use-and-appUpgrades, the app fails to start and always crashes as soon as the app is launched by tapping on it's icon, no splash screen is visible, just the Android system dialog box pops up specifying that the app has crashed.

To Reproduce

1. Install an older version of Inji app
2. Use the app to transfer VCs
3. Upgrade the app
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until the app crashes on launch

I installed release apps from these release dates to reproduce this bug; 20th Feb --> 28th Feb --> 20th Feb --> 28th Feb --> 6th March.

Expected behavior

On app upgrades the app should not crash.

Actual behavior

After usage & upgrades of the app, the app fails to start and this is a known issue for a certain range of React native versions as documented here.

The bug applies to all versions of Android app on Android 9, 10, 11 as documented by the issue on SoLoader repository

Smartphone:

This has been successfully reproduced on Nokia 6.1 Plus(Android 10, BLE 5.0). Since this bug is a react native issue, wallet & verifier details are not relevant here as the app fails to start. This is a React Native issue, so it applies to more devices.

Further relevant details:

React Native version: 0.64.4
Original issue: facebook/SoLoader#77

[vharsh]

This bug was a known issue for certain ReactNative versions and has been fixed as recommended by community users. It has been tested against release builds of various versions on Android 10 with the Inji app being used and upgraded multiple times till the bug was reproduced(i.e. the app crashed on launch) and then when the fix-changeset build was used to successfully run the app.
