Description

The latest Rive package gives a black View on Android

Provide a Repro

• An expo v52 project with rive configured and new-arch disabled
• Trigger rive animation
• It will work perfectly fine on iOS but on android, it just shows as black box
• Connected with Android Studio to check logcat and there were no logs related to rive package or anything related to it
• After spending some time, I hardcoded rive-react-native package version to 8.4.0 and it started working normally on both android and iOS

Expected behavior

It should work fine on android and iOS
