Crash: [RNScreens] Attempt to use context detached from activity

Description

I am currently getting this crash in production on the new arch. Sorry I do not currently have a way to repro. It seems to happen on app start.

Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snack or a link to a GitHub repository under your username that reproduces the problem?

[kkafar]

@janicduplessis, do you mind checking out 3.34.0?

[kkafar]

I released it specifically to patch this error: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-screens/releases/tag/3.34.0.

Also I'm surprised that the code even builds - 3.33.0 should fail to build on RN 0.74.x, but hey, if it works it works.

[janicduplessis]

I made a patch to make it build on 0.74. Just needs a few change to some method signature and in CMake config.

[kkafar]

But have you had opportunity to test 3.34.0 (another version of screens, which I've released just this Monday? It should fix the issue. I'm aware that there can be still some problem when hot-reloading react native, but this should not be problem in production

[kkafar]

If 3.34.0 does not work for you I'll try to debug this urgently & release new version on Friday, cause I'm off next 2 weeks.

This crash could happen on Android + Fabric + "bridgeful" combination in the very start of application due to race condition in the code. I've described the issue here: #2276

[janicduplessis]

I have not, I will test it today.

[janicduplessis]

Just deployed an update with rn-screens@3.34.0 will monitor crashes for the next day or so to make sure it doesn't happen anymore.

[janicduplessis]

I can confirm that updating to 3.34.0 fixes this. Thanks!
