App crashes when sending message in react-native-gifted-chat

I am experiencing a crash in my Expo app when I send a message using the Gifted Chat component. The app works perfectly in the Android simulator but crashes when I build the APK and run it on a physical device.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Build the Expo app as a preview build (APK).
2. Install the APK on a physical Android device.
3. Open the app and navigate to the chat screen.
4. Type a message and press the send button.
5. The app crashes immediately.
