realm-js: Crash in Expo 44 iOS app immediately upon app launch — RealmReact.setBridge > RJSInitializeInContext > EXC_BAD_ACCESS

How frequently does the bug occur?

All the time

Description

When I open my Expo app built using eas build and choose the Expo development server, the app crashes instantly, before the JS bundle loads from the Expo development server. This occurs on the simulator or a real iOS device.

When I do this in the simulator, it produces a .crash log file in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports that includes the full stacktrace (see below).

Stacktrace & log output

Here is the stacktrace from the relevant thread from the .crash file:
