Animated masked view no longer works on android <= 9

[LouiseBC]

The problem:
I use MaskedView with an animating circle as a mask to animate a component's background in and out. The mask still works, but the animation doesn't. I.e., I need to reload the page to see the state change (background visible/invisible)

This was introduced by #116 -- I've checked that reverting this change solves the problem.

Also facing this issue, anything animated inside of MaskedView does not animate on Android.
This seemed to be an issue before: #22

@LouiseBC can you perhaps share an example project, I tried to recreate this but unsuccessful, we managed to animate our objects. With it I can investigate further.

import { Animated, Image } from 'react-native';
import MaskedView from '@react-native-masked-view/masked-view';

...

    const loadingProgress = useRef(new Animated.Value(0)).current;
           
    useEffect(() => {
        Animated.timing(loadingProgress, {
            toValue: 100,
            duration: 1000,
            useNativeDriver: true,
        }).start()
    }, []);

    <MaskedView
        style={{ flex: 1, height: '100%' }}
        maskElement={
            <Animated.Image
                source={imageSource}
                style={[
                    {
                        width: 255,
                        height: 255,
                    },
                    {
                        transform: [
                            {
                                scale: loadingProgress.interpolate({
                                    inputRange: [0, 10, 100],
                                    outputRange: [1, 0.8, 70],
                                }),
                            },
                        ],
                    },
                ]}
            />
        }>
        {/* Content */}
    </MaskedView>

The image animates when I place it out of MaskedView.
And it also animates with the first release of this package, albeit with very laggy performance

I have tried to look for solutions but haven't been able to find anything that solves this with good performance. Perhaps that one of the maintainers can have an in-depth look at this?

@FonDorn @Naturalclar ?
