global.performance.now is not a function

Description

I run into the following type error when trying to attach a chrome debugger to the iOS simulator or physical device. global.performance.now is not a function

Expected behavior

The type error should not appear and chrome debugging should be possible

Actual behavior & steps to reproduce

So far I was not able to reproduce it in a minimal code example (still working on it), but I can fix it in my app by commenting out every import of react-native-reanimated

Snack or minimal code example

tbd soon
