react-native: Text is not displayed on Android physical device after 0.73.0

Description

Since version 0.73.0 text in the Text component is not displayed on a physical connected Android device.

It works well both on Android Studio Emulator (tested with API 33 and API 34) and on physical connected device with react native below 0.73.0

Tested on two different physical devices

If I add background color to it, Text component would be visible, but content is not. Also, text is visible in TextInput component. Text in error logs is not visible too, but visible in loading log (at the very top of the application)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install the application on physical Android device
  2. Notice that any text in the Text component is not displayed
