Describe the bug

Short: The app process crashes on Android when starting a RevenueCat purchase flow if the Pricing / Premium screen is reached via nested modal/formSheet routes (e.g. Home → Settings (formSheet) → Plan → Upgrade → Pricing → Purchase). The same Pricing screen works if opened from Home (full-screen). The crash occurs immediately after the Google Play purchase loader appears.

Observed behavior

Works: Home → Upgrade → Pricing → Purchase (no crash).

Fails: Home → Settings (formSheet) → Plan → Upgrade → Pricing → Purchase (app closes right after Google Play purchase loader appears).

The old premium/index screen (from a prior working project) also crashes when placed into the new project, which indicates the cause is project-level (navigation/lifecycle/native) rather than the premium screen’s code.

Defensive changes (dismiss modal before navigation, useIsFocused, InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions, small delays, initializing Purchases early) were tried but crash persists in the new project.

Hi @athulmohan2, thanks for reporting!

• Could you share a stack trace of the crash?
• The premium screen you're referring to, is that a RevenueCat Paywall?
