@luanxingtong-helium10 : Thanks for sharing the details!

We’ve noticed that this crash typically occurs when the React Native New Architecture is enabled, since the reactNativeHost API is no longer supported in that setup.

Could you please confirm whether New Architecture is enabled in your project (check the newArchEnabled flag in android/gradle.properties)?

This will help us confirm the root cause and suggest the appropriate fix or workaround.

react-native@0.82.0 only support new architecture. i add a patch to template disable trackDeepLinks

Here's the patch package, for analytics 2.21.3 and RN 0.82 (haven't tested below)

@segment+analytics-react-native+2.21.3.patch

@sunitaprajapati89 I can confirm the bug is still here on 2.21.4 and RN 0.82 (with the new architecture since only the new architecture is available now).

Thanks for creating this issue and proposing the patch.
We are facing the same issue. We noticed this while trying to upgrade to Expo SDK 55 our android build broke for the same reason, incompatibility with new architecture.
Are there any plans for fixing this without having to use any patch?
