React-native - Stuck on splash screen on android with debug apk

None of the solutions provided to existing questions help. I have no issues with iOS and running on my android device with the development server. But debug-apk is stuck on the splash screen and I can't see anything on the logcat.

App.js

...
import SplashScreen from 'react-native-splash-screen';

componentDidMount() {
    // Alert.alert('Done', 'Hide splash!'); doesn't trigger
    SplashScreen.hide();
}
