NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int android.app.Activity.getRequestedOrientation()' on a null object reference

[jreason]

Hi,

We have been getting the following error for a while now, sometimes into the hundreads per day.
It only appears to be affecting Android devices with a wide range of difference android versions and devices.
After doing some research, i thought it might be related to the Android View State which is mentioned here:
https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-screens#android

However, after making this change, the problem still persists.
Any ideas?

@jreason can you make a test project please so I can check?

@jedt i have not been able to reproduce this at all in any testing environment, but my sentry logs are displaying it all the time

Hey guys, any ideas on how to stop this problem? Just started happening to me in my last update, but users aren´t reporting anything.
