Realm lock threads with two bundle applications

I have two bundles running simultaneously in the react-native, having the following structure:

• RCTRootView
  • UIView
    • RCTRootView

When this view structure is applied, realm starts the new thread successfully in the first RCTRootView. When the second thread will start with the second RCTRootView, the code that checks if the thread is finished goes into loops, locking the main thread and blocking the bundle loading.

It has been verified that the code that is causing this problem is in the class: From issue #1065 implementation. RealmReact.mm - 275 until 285 - below:

void _initializeOnJSThread(JSContextRefExtractor jsContextExtractor) {
    // Make sure the previous JS thread is completely finished before continuing.
    static __weak NSThread *s_currentJSThread;
    while (s_currentJSThread && !s_currentJSThread.finished) {
        [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:0.1];
    }
    s_currentJSThread = [NSThread currentThread];

    // Close all cached Realms from the previous JS thread.
    realm::_impl::RealmCoordinator::clear_all_caches();

    RJSInitializeInContext(jsContextExtractor());
}

@kneth I also want to support this thread. Without it, it’s impossible difficult to use realm on my app. We have multiples react native bundle on my app. Many guys that are not creating an app from scratch are on the same scenario.

Same problem here. Do you know the last version which this problem doesn’t occur? This is blocking our development and we can’t rollback to versions before 1.9.0 cause we need the backlink feature too. Thanks in advance.
