Hi @mccraigmccraig, thanks for reporting, we will take a look at the issue.

Hi @mccraigmccraig, I could not reproduce the issue on two different devices with different android versions. Can you tell me if this happens on every try for you or maybe it was some one time glitch?

Hi @kristian-mkd , it's happening on every try on my Pixel-8/Android-15 ... 🤔 I'll get some colleagues to try some different devices

[mccraigmccraig]

we're also currently stuck on RN 0.72.4... I've no idea if that has any bearing on the problem

@mccraigmccraig That should not be causing it. We use kotlin 1.7 to stay supported with 0.72. Do you see anything in your native android logs? Can you please share them here if possible.
