App closes after picking a file iOS (Apple M1 Chip)

See original GitHub issue

Bug report

Summary

When using a machine with M1 chip, running the app on an iOS simulator and picking any file will close the app without any errors on the react native console. I was able to get an error when running the app using xcode

Reproducible sample code

The app just closes on after picking a file without any errors so I ran the app on xcode and got this error

Steps to reproduce

Use the latest version of the library on an iOS simulator
Machine has to have an M1 chip

Describe what you expected to happen:

when running via react native run-ios the app will close after picking any file
running with xcode will show the error on the image after picking any file

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreservices/1448939-uttypecreatepreferredidentifierf according the documentation uti can be null. idk what cause it but on silicon macs its return null and crash.

for now i changed like this: if (uti) { CFRelease(uti); } everything is fine on emulator, also on physical device uti isn’t null and CFRelease(uti) works.

Thanks! This is working perfectly.
