Crash : null pointer dereference SIGSEGV

[lvothnrv]

Description

Hello,
I'm experiencing a crash on Android that seems to only affect the Redmi A3 model. When the user opens the app, it immediately shows "the app has stopped working."
In Firebase Crashlytics, I see the following error:
null pointer dereference: SIGSEGV 0x0000000000000004

I was initially using React Native 0.78.1, and I tried upgrading to 0.78.2, but the issue still persists.

I can't reproduce the bug on my side using Android Studio; everything works fine in my tests.
Other users on Samsung, OnePlus, and even other Xiaomi devices are not experiencing this issue — it seems specific to the Redmi A3.

Additionally, in Google Play Console, I received the following crash report:
[split_config.armeabi_v7a.apk!libreactnative.so] _JNIEnv::CallVoidMethod(_jobject*, _jmethodID*, ...)

Steps to reproduce

Install the app from the Play Store.
Open the app on a Redmi A3 device.

React Native Version

0.78.2
