[RN 0.73.10] - Native Stack Navigator Input focus crashes app on iOS Device only

[mobinni]

Description

When running an app on old architecture if you mount a native stack navigator and have an input that's autoFocus the app will hang and eventually crash and become unresponsive.

This only happens if:

1. you're on iOS
2. you're in release mode
3. you're on a physical device\
4. You wrap your content with a View with height="100%"

Relevant RN thread - facebook/react-native#42939

Why is this of concern to RN Screens?
If you use a regular stack navigator the app will have hanging frames but it will self-resolve, when using native stack navigators it completely halts and crashes

Steps to reproduce

You need a physical iOS device

1. Run this app in release mode on iOS - https://github.com/mobinni/RNBrokenKeyboardAvoidingView
2. press the navigation button
3. App will hang and crash only on iOS
