[Android][expo-splash-screen] No longer working without call to SplashScreen.show(...) on react-native@0.68

Summary

After running expo-upgrade, expo-splash-screen no longer works unless I reintroduce the lines that were recently removed >12.0.0.

I have tried this on 2 separate projects, one with and one without Expo installed, and seems like the root cause is react-native@0.68.1 not playing well with this library. Added back the lines below and the splash screen started showing again.

// SplashScreen.show(...) has to be called after super.onCreate(...)
// Below line is handled by '@expo/configure-splash-screen' command and it's discouraged to modify it manually
SplashScreen.show(this, SplashScreenImageResizeMode.CONTAIN, ReactRootView.class, false);

Error:

No native splash screen registered for given view controller. Call 'SplashScreen.show' for given view controller first.
