Hermes does not work when extracting apk from android app bundles (.abb)

[owinter86]

This can be tested quite easily with a new RN init project.

Android app builds, installs and runs fine when hermes is enabled or disabled when building a standard apk.

Android app builds, installs and runs fine when hermes disabled when using an extracted apk from android app bundle (.abb), this can be done in android studio run configurations and deploy APK from app bundle.

Android App builds, install and hangs on the splash screen when hermes is enabled and using extracted apk from android app bundle.

The logcat is as follows.
