expo-splash-screen on iOS sometimes does not "hideAsync"

[artola]

I found a bug on expo-splash-screen (v0.26.4) running on iOS 17.4.1 (iPhone 15 Pro Max).
When running the RELEASE version, I execute preventAutoHideAsync before mounting the App, and later on when the router isReady it triggers hideAsync.
But it not able to hide the Splash and it remains there if I do not retry.
The typings show that hideAsync(): Promise<boolean>, but it returns the first time undefined.
I do retry every 100ms (a couple of times) and returns true.
This is only happening on RELEASE, but it works on Debug or Simulator.
