iOS standalone app can crash when using many video components

See original GitHub issue

We have reports of “The AVPlayerItem instance has failed” followed by a native crash when running multiple videos (e.g. in a list). The report also indicates that react-native-video doesn’t experience this issue. We should check out whatever they’re doing and pull it into Expo.

Merged the fix internally. It will ship with our next release.

I’m on Expo v28 and still getting @parkerbossier’s error reported on May 7 when I have multiple Expo Video components in a flatlist - with the difference of: “Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)”. If it helps, the error hits at around 15+ videos rendered in the list.
