react-native: TextInput Component crashing app when character count exceeds 490 (IOS versions 11.0 or higher only)

The TextInput component on iOS versions of 11 or higher seems to be crashing the entire mobile application when I enter a long text consisting of 490 characters or more. There aren’t any errors that pop up in the Javascript console but our QA engineer found this message below inside their crash log. Note: this is only happening on an actual iPhone device, not a simulator.

Environment

Environment: OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 Node: 8.9.3 Yarn: 1.3.2 npm: 5.5.1 Watchman: 4.9.0 Xcode: Xcode 9.3 Build version 9E145 Android Studio: 2.3 AI-162.4069837

Packages: (wanted => installed) react: 16.0.0 => 16.0.0 react-native: ~0.55.0 => 0.55.0

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a TextInput component (The one we used is pasted below)
2. Enter text until you have reached a count of 490 characters
3. The app will suddenly crash and you will automatically be taken to the home screen.

    return (
      <TextInput
        accessibilityLabel="ChatInput"
        editable
        multiline
        enablesReturnKeyAutomatically
        placeholder={placeholder}
        placeholderTextColor={placeholderTextColor}
        onChangeText={onChange}
        style={[style, { height: composerHeight }]}
        value={value}
        selectionColor={selectionColor}
        onChange={this.onContentSizeChange}
        underlineColorAndroid="transparent"
        onContentSizeChange={this.onContentSizeChange}
      />
    );

Expected Behavior

The TextInput rendering logic should be completely independent from the character count.

Actual Behavior

The application crashes and we are sent to the home screen.
