No Shimmer Effect on iOS Simulator with Expo 52 and New Architecture Enabled

[rogerwaldvogel]

If I activate the new architecture in Expo 52 (app.json -> newArchEnabled:true) then there is no more shimmer. If I deactivate the new architecture, it works again.

React Native: 0.76.2
Expo: 52.0.9
expo-linear-gradient: 14.0.1

I have been waiting for the new architecture to become more stable and well-documented.

I have spent many hours figuring out how to accomplish tasks that are not documented or fully ready for use.

Now that React Native 0.76 has been released, it may be time for me to give it another try.
