React native 0.59.x crashes on Android without any error message

🐛 Bug Report

RN 0.59 isn’t stable on Android. if you spend 20 seconds wandering around in your app, it will crash and stop working with no error message whatsoever. I have to add I didn’t face this issue on Expo SDK 32 or RN v0.58.6.

To Reproduce

react-native init react-native run-android and use the Code Example as your App class. now just type a few words in TextInput and then remove some letters and again type something…; it takes less than 5 seconds to crash without any error message.

Expected Behavior

just to work in a stable manner.

Code Example

export default class App extends Component {
  state = { text: "" };

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Text style={styles.welcome}>Welcome to React Native!</Text>
        <Text style={styles.instructions}>To get started, edit App.js</Text>
        <Text style={styles.instructions}>{instructions}</Text>
        <TextInput
          onChangeText={text => {
            this.setState({ text });
          }}
          value={this.state.text}
          placeholder="please don't crash!"
        />
      </View>
    );
  }
}

It seems all they care is closing issues and keeping them below 400 even though lots of them are still relevant. @Fouppy
