fix: Unrelated Bugs Appearing After Patch Deployment on iOS and Android

[ernestjsf]

App ID: f1c72ac1-bdfb-49bd-ab00-85a11d8e5833

Description

After applying patches, unexpected bugs occur in the app, such as:

• Users getting stuck on the splash screen due to failure in retrieving the auth token.
• Users being unable to upload images, or the upload process takes at least 10 times longer than normal.

Steps To Reproduce

The issue appears randomly and manifests differently on Android and iOS devices:

1. Create a Shorebird release.
2. Make some code changes.
3. Create the iOS and Android patches.
4. Deploy the patches.
5. Test the app and observe bugs that are unrelated to the code changes made.

Expected Behavior

Applying a new patch should not introduce unrelated bugs.

This is definitely not expected, and we'd love to help. It looks like your app has a lot of releases, only a few of which have been patched. I'm not seeing unpatchable (native or asset) changes in any of them, which is usually the culprit for this sort of thing.

Our first step is always getting a reliable reproduction of the issue. Are there specific releases on which you're seeing this issue?
