Dynamic maskElement does not update on Android

Summary

I found a bug on Android where the maskElement does not update when its contents are changed. I do not see the bug on iOS.

Snack

I’ve replicated the bug in this Snack: https://snack.expo.dev/@bcwalk14/dynamic-mask-element.

The maskElement updates to count the seconds on iOS, but it is frozen on Android.

Versions

@react-native-masked-view/masked-view: 0.2.4 Expo: v42.0.0

(I was still able to reproduce the error with 0.2.5 and 0.2.6 of @react-native-masked-view/masked-view)

Additional Context

When I change the Expo version back to v41.0.0, I no longer see the bug where the maskElement is frozen. So, this is a regression. However, it seems like there’s something in the Expo update from v41.0.0 -> v42.0.0 that’s breaking the masked-view on Android rather than a breaking change that was recently committed to the masked-view codebase.

It looks like this same bug has been reported and resolved previously in issues https://github.com/react-native-masked-view/masked-view/issues/67 and https://github.com/react-native-masked-view/masked-view/issues/19.
